Last week we was camping in an area that is in our local channel spot beam area for our Directtv. After setting up the dish we had 80+ signal strength on both satellites so everything looked good. We have never set up our dish in an area that we should be getting our home local channels so we thought this would be great as our cable was fuzzy. Wrong..............for some reason our local channels was bringing in programming that was also being shown on the upper channels, such as TBS, TNT, USA etc. Normally when we are out of our spot beam area our local channel are blocked and all we get is the Directtv banner. I never did figure this out, so if there is anyone out there that solve this mystery for me I would appreciate it.
