I now have it up and running.....I set the EL,AZ, and SK connected my meter, twisted the dish a little and wa-la got a signal. Fine tuned the dish for the best signal and quality and I'm in business. Here are somemore photos.

can you get these channels on the dish antenna or do i need my geopro 90cm antenna. i already have the 250 package from dish but seldom use it. just got a sony tv and it is so much better at receiving local channels. i am about 90 miles from sioux city, omaha and lincoln. now with my rotor antenna set to lincoln, i get sioux city, omaha, lincoln and hastings at the same time. and occasionally i get sioux falls, south dakota. blows my mind... charlie

I think you can get them with a small dish these are channels which are received with a Dish Network dish from Echostar 14 119W. But you have to be within the spot beam shown here. I use my Openbox to receive them.

Is HD working really well now for dish? I used to have it but I most of the time had fussy picture and cracking sound. I wanna know if the quality has really improved a lot. I've given up talking to their customer service because I've spent so many hours on the phone trying to figure things out but it was never fixed.
