Puerto Rico Spot Beam now active!

Of course there is no programming on it that anyone has reported. But I received a report that with a 1.1 M Dish transponder 4 at 110° is now sending a signal strong enough to hit 115 on a Dish receiver.

Just to share with everyone else...RUMOR ALERT...this statement has no basis in fact, only a regurgitation of an e-mail I received a month ago...... Dish is planning to have PR locals up in late march/early april. This is contingent on concent from the two major stations in San Juan and one in Caguas. From what was reported, channel 8 from St Thomas would also be included. There would be a total of 6 or 7 stations offered. Locals would be available in both PR and the USVI. [/rumor alert]

See ya

Actually channel 8 comes from St. Croix.
This station is so behind the times that the weather man uses a pointer to point at a chalkboard with the fronts drawn on it.
I wouldn't pay a penny for my local channel. :rolleyes:

I am seeing a signal in the low sixties on transponder 4 a couple of hundred miles SE of Puerto Rico with a CM 1.8 meter dish.

That would be fantastic! Maybe now we'll be able to get the 7 day EPG?
