Since I am a die hard Patriots fan, U are in luck!

sat 110- channel 8771, Transponder 20, WBZ channel 4 CBS

or sat 61.5- channel 7771 WPRI from Providence RI

or possibly from NY ..sat 119 -channel 8101 WCBS

BTW...all Boston locals are on Dishnet from channels 8770-8785..thats ABC, CBS, FOX , NBC, etc..

As U know, Patriots are NOT shown on NESN, only the Sox..Pats are always on CBS, except for an ocassional rare ESPN or Fox channel (when sometimes playing a NFC team)...thats why I gave U the link to every channel on Dishnetwork in case U need to catch them on another channel...

BTW ...I live in Florida now, but call Mass home...and I have a shared DTV sub from Mass with the NFL Sunday ticket but cannot get the Pats because they are on locals in Mass (but I too get NESN, cause NESN is not a local channel with DTV)...so I too must rely on FTA for the Pats..

Another die hard Pats fan here in Canada(since 1974)..:-) EPT you wont get the Boston locals as they are only spot beamed to the north east seaboard(neither can I) but New York WCBS ch 243 is on the main satelite and you will be able to get the game against the Jets this sunday...Also if you are close enough to Florida, you may get an assortment of spotbeamed Florida/Georgia local CBS channels that may carry Pat's games whenever the Dolphins arent on.

I don't have any channels from 8770.
Do I need to Rescan again for echo 3?

If U live in that Boston geographical area then U should be getting all those locals from 8770-8785...they are spotbeamed to that specific area and probably 50-100 miles away also..and its TP 26 spotbeam 4 on channel 8771 on satellite 110 (echo 8.10)..U need to do new scans and TP scans also..

BTW...how many LNB's on roof dish do U have and aimed at which satellites?...U know U cannot just do scans UNLESS U have a physical LNB attached to dish and aligned perfectly at specific satellites...1 LNB = 1 satellite

If U line elsewhere in New England, let me know WHERE exactly and what your local CBS channel is and we'll see what channel that is..

also U should get it on channel 243 on the 110 satellite also, which is major superstation CBS in NYC...

Read my post directly above yours about channel 243....now go to the link way above and look up "Yes" channel and see if its spotbeamed or just what type of channel it actually is....I know the answer, U need the training..
