What is SPOT BEAMING?
Imagine a large stage, On the floor of the stage is painted a map of the United states. Standing on your service location is the STAR of the SHOW singing his solo, he is covered by a Follow Spot operator.. (Spot light) ... Well if you are also standing in teh light, you have are seen, but if you are say on the other side of the stage, dressed as I was in Black, Changing out props on the set (I was a stage hand) Nobody sees you.
A spot light **IS** A spot beam
What is a CONUS beam.
Same stage.. FLOOD LIGHT that covers the entire stage for the big dance number.
SPOT Lights are SPOT beams
WHen you set up a service location, DISH authorizes your receiver for that spot beam. if you drive WITHIN the spot. All is good.. but if you leave the spot. All is DARK in regards to the locals.. You need to "Move" teh service address to the spot you are "Standing" in.
Example. When I had Dish/Direct my Service addy was Detroit.. Flint area (Where I am now) Same spot Kalamazoo,, Different spot.
