Dish local channel area coverage

[bluwtr49]

OK you TV gurus...have a go at this.

I've notices that the Dish local channel coverage is fairly generous regarding the area. For example, when I moved my service address to Lebanon, OR I got the Portland station and still had them all the way to Spokane. Latter I moved my service address to Idaho Falls, ID and had coverage to Jackpot, NV. Both of these were about 420 miles distance.

Now my question, is there any map or ??? that one can use to see the coverage area from different locations? I think it would be handy info to have when traveling rather than call in a service move.
Thanks for any input.
