According to Lyngsat, and other information I can find they have nothing at 110 except a placeholder, and at 119 some locals.
DIRECTV says it will go all HD in 2016 , what about DISH?

The 110 is used for Puerto Rico.
But Directv only has 3 licenses for the 110.
Also fairly sure the 95 is used, as well as with Directv 15 it was a double launch and another Latin America satellite was also put into space. I believe at the 78.8 orbital location.
Unless that is just for Mexico.

Sad thing is if all but one channel was HD. Some guy from Tim buck to, Would complain. No offense to anybody from Tim Buck to.
yea i know that every channel will go hd but i can only wish.would it be nice if dish would have all their channels in hd
All of my channels have been HD since Absolute, (have Silver Now) If a channel is not in HD by now its not worth watching, IMO.
YMMV
It is spelled Timbuktu and is located pretty close to the geographic center of Mali so you're probably safe from retribution.
Lyngsat is kind of a mixed bag when it comes to currency. There are much better resources for figuring out what DIRECTV is currently doing.
I don't see that happening.
Directv has spent millions of dollars to hold onto 3 transponders at 110.
It costs them more to keep a satellite there just to hold the licenses that they do nothing with.
Directv could have given up these frequencies years ago.
Even a transponder swap would have benefited both companies and never happened.
Can't really happen now anyways because there are too many LNB's out there with 110 frequencies being down converted to 119 frequencies.
Besides I would say 99% of dish customers looking at 119 also see 110. Not many dish 300's around like there was 15 years ago.
They do a lot with the frequencies at 110. That sat is not just sitting there to hold the spots. They are in use. They have been pointed at and have been in use in Puerto Rico for years. They aren't just wasting them, they are using every ounce of bandwidth from them.
A bunch of guys on the other site put together a similar resource. It is in Excel format that nobody should have to endure.
I think I have tried to decipher that in the past for spotbeams, when I had DirecTV for a while. It was a nightmare determining what was on which spotbeam.
You need to use the filter on that excel sheet to make it easy to understand. You have to filter out your market from the rest.. The key is finding your market number... Which shouldn't be to hard, if you scroll to find any one of your local stations call signs first.. Then filter for that market number.
Fine to take that stance but it does not allow you to watch a few niche shows that are very good but are in SD. Impress Me and Schitt's Creek are examples. I wouldn't want to watch the majority of TV in SD but I also am not above a few shows in SD if they are good.
The one decent thing about SD is the space it takes up on the hard drive. Movies and Sports in SD is a non-starter, but other programming, it can be worth it to record in SD to save space.
Content is still King. I'll still watch a show I really like in SD over a blah show in HD. Thankfully there are only a handful that are that good in SD.
On a somewhat related note, what's with some shows all of sudden being shown in SD on the HD channel? Latest is the Critics Choice Awards on A&E, on at the time I am posting. History did recently with an episode of Pawn Stars, and the Comedy channel did for one show. (Can't remember which one) All were on their second or more showing.
