chicago locals in colorado?

[ccampbell1976]

I am really new to this end of satellite tv and I guess my question is, is it possible to recieve chicago locals here in colorado about 70 miles northwest of denver? oh and i do have dish 500 with dish network.

Dish is preparing to move Chicago HD locals to a spot beam on 61.5, so currently it is possible (conus on 129), but not for long. SD are conus on 110 for now..

And with a Dish 500 he's not going to get the ones on 129° either. :)

No, you've got to live within the Chicago area to legally receive Chicago locals.
We don't discuss illegal reception on our forums.

The 4 major networks in SD are CONUS, the rest are spotbeam.
