I was hoping to take my receiver to my travel trailer campground in Sebring,FL - I get Miami locals and was wondering if the D11 spot beam goes that far...?
Anyone with Miami HD locals ever go further North? If so how far have you gone?
I was hoping to find a D11 spotbeam coverage map somewhere.....
Thanks
Here are some very rough maps:

(no one knows anything for sure as Directv does not publish the spotbeam info, and they are always changing. Only thing guaranteed is that you will receive them when you are inside your local DMA)

No maps that I've seen have been specifically for the HD spotbeams, but I'm 99% sure you'll be fine in Sebring.

I have taken one of my receivers as far as Punta Gorda with no problem. The signals were still in the mid 60's.

Thanks , I'll give it a try... Now that the Miami hd locals are on 99s I just wasnt sure how tight those spot beams are.

DirecTV often reassigns channels to different transpoders and adjusts spot beam coverage. In other words, while you may find that you get those Locals away from Miami now, you might not in the future.
