Just out of curiosity is the Echostar14 expected to provide the Local Network
channels , As the old Echostar 7 Lately hasnt provided the Network Channels
which was a big disapointment since these channels offer National and Local
programming they are a big Asset to the major cities and towns.

14 will be almost all spot beams.I have no idea what they will put on those spots so best to just wait.You probably wont get locals any way if your using iks.

It all depends, my I-link 210 has PR locals open, but what its local for me could be international or Spanish channels for your area...............

Seems only half of the TP's got moved (8,9,11,12,15,16,19,20) the other half along with some spot-beams are due to move on May 24.

My dish is a homebrew its an old big metal *choice (I believe it could actually be a 30") I didn't splurge and get a Invacom cp/lp but have modified the arm to hold a circular on center and the linear is mounted off center with sg2100. As of this afternoon with drizzling rain and very overcast still bouncing 99-100q on E14, rescan hasn't seen any more tp's yet. I don't think I will get the evening fade. Like I said I never got Echo7 for more than a couple hours a week at perfect conditions with maybe 20 quality max.

Ive tried many combo's before I bought a motor... I would put money on a Bev dish with the y connection (dish500) and 2 lnb's picking up both near Edmonton now. (Obviously Bev 82,91 9 degree's like 110-119) I tested one of them before and found I got better signal at dn's 110 than I did at bev's 91.Then I found out I couldn't get 119 anyways so I ditched dual lnb. And even now with a big azzed dish 110 and 119 comes in way stronger than 82 and 91 ever have. Save your money I seen dual lnb bevs on kijiji Edmonton for as little as $25. Or look for someone taking one down. I assume you don't have a motor?

If your near edmonton, you will need a 36 to get all tp's on 110 strong enough, a 33 will work but the weaker transponders lose lots of Q as soon a a cloud or plane goes by
Good news that E14 is stronger now, might need to get a bracket for my 39"

Or just strap another LNB onto the side of 110 and about 1 1/2" higher.
