Sat 117 is one of the Dish Birds as I recall so anywher you can get Dish Western Arc it should work..
Page 2: It's till too much to pay as far as I'm concerend. I do OTA for 25/year (Cost of electronic TV guide) If I wanted to MANUALLY program all recordings I could skip the 25/yr.
Dish uses 110,119,and 129 for WA and 62.5,72.7, 77 for EA. 117 is not an Echostar sat. Using multiple birds, if an issue crops up they can switch programming to a different transponder or even a different bird. Direct uses multiple birds also. With this Orly who knows what can be done if they lose a transponder or something.
My cheap Brother in law recently had ORLY installed, he is always the first to jump into the crappile spending dollars to save nickels. The local antenna they installed only picks up FOX out of Pittsburgh. We're both about 35 miles as the crow flies from the city. As a comparison I can get all 4 networks over the air using the batwing on the trailer in my driveway, and he is a good 400' higher in elevation and only gets Fox 53. He said the Orly installer told him to get a rotating mast to mount the OTA antenna on and that "might" work. Reminds me of my dad turning a dial while kicking the TV back in the 60s while spewing profanities.
