Thanks to all for the help. I never thought the problem was with Dish but with something I was doing wrong. This is the first trip out since we lost All American Direct and we have a different satellite dish. I tried the sat dish at home and got signals so I was happy I didn't check to see what channels I was getting. The first stop was at Lake Powell and couldn't get a signal for two days call about 6 times to Dish with questions but no answers. Next stop 60 miles east of Idaho Falls and get channels on 119 right to start with so I call Dish for locals. About 5 more calls later they say my receiver that was a 301 was outdated and I needed a 211. Bought a 211 but still no locals and I would ask I'm on 119 is that OK they said OK. So I said for 3 days changing cables and everything I could think of but all along I thought I was doing something wrong. Yesterday we pull into Butte MT and hook up the Dish and I'm on 110 and local channels but I have not called Dish yet but maybe it's the same local channels here.
Anyway, thank you all for the help. I would have asked earlier but we were camped in a field with friends and NO internet.
