K.C. Locals

I noticed last night that one of the K.C. independents, KCMI-Channel 38, had been added to the Kansas City network package. The channel previously had been on the side dish. The channel has a lot of syndicated programming, Simpson's, etc., but has a pretty nifty 9 p.m. newscast featuring some of the personnel from the NBC affiliate, KSHB. I never had seen this channel before E* began supplying it. A nice addition.

Are you saying that this channel is now on 119°? Could you check to see what transponder it's on?

Just in case you don't know how to check this....tune to the channel. press "menu" (Home>>Settings on the Dishplayer) "System Set-up" >>"Installation">>"Point Dish" (usually Menu+6+1+1).

Thanks!

See ya

I believe it's on 119, but I'll check for sure when I get home.

Phill....

Just confirmed that KMCI is indeed at 119°. Is it on transponder 9?

See ya

Tony:
It's on the Spotbeam, transponder 3 is how I read it.

FWIW:
The KC spotbeam is tight! I'm 275 mi., hdg 325 deg. (approximately) from KC and don't get a signal from tr. 3

Rifleman, the beam isn't centered on KC, the center is more like around Wichita with the beam slanting from South-West to North-East. 275 miles at a heading of 325 would be predictable for no coverage.
