If nothing else is happening in the background with a Joey or recording then you can just go to diagnostics (Home x3) then Dish, it should show the current tuner/sat/transponder in use.

Question for you while you are around, how much of an improvement are Echo23's signal levels for you compared to before? IIRC, you are on 1.5m/2m dishes, think you can get away with something smaller now?
Thanks! All four of those channels are now on 110. That method doesn't give me the transponder, though.
Thanks! That method shows that all four channels are on 110, transponder 1.
Well, I have no idea how to determine specifically which satellite I'm tuned in to. From what I understand, Dish is using Echostar 10, 11, and 23 at the 110 location (although I don't know whether they are actually broadcasting from 23 yet or not). Honestly, I don't ever pay any attention to the signal levels (except when I first aimed the dish). Either the channels are coming in or they're not (which only happens when it rains fairly heavily). I have a six foot (1.8m) dish with the main LNB looking at 119, and an offset LNB looking at 110. I also have an 8 foot (2.4m) dish looking at 72. If it is helpful to you, I was getting a signal strength of 48 on 110, transponder 1 while checking these four channels.
Based on a post from another user located in CR, it seams that 110 transponder 2 is definitely Echo23, do you mind checking it?
I don't mind checking at all. Right now, 110 transponder 2 is showing a strength of 43.
As rapidly as they are moving channels this may not be accurate.
I have some lists of channels that have moved this week, but they're long and I'm not sure if I can post them here (although I don't see the harm)

Soooo.....if everything is on 110/119 will they go back to the dish 500?
That is precisely what they are doing with a modified WA LNBF Twin
Will it be called Hybrid Dual WA.2? Someone said when 129 sat goes offline a new software update will fix the receivers where they can’t look for 129 sat lol. I’m assuming the hybrid Triple WA.2 will be recognized as Hybrid Dual WA.2 after a future software update when 129 sat goes offline.

That makes sense, as for the name. The software comment is also correct
Just a comment from a DirecTV subscriber. SD can definitely be transmitted in Mpeg4, with reduced bandwidth requirements.
Wow! They're staying busy moving stuff around and making other changes. I don't even know what all of what you have listed means, but thanks for sharing. I'm really curious to see what things are going to look like for me come the end of July. I'm very hopeful that for the first time ever I will actually be able to receive all of the channels that I'm paying for, and that the majority of them (it would be nice if all, but I'm not going to get greedy) are in HD (I mean, who really needs SD anymore anyway?!).
Hipkat I really want to know when they will move our HD Beaumont Locals off the 129 satellite? Please let me know if you see it moving to either 110 or 119 sats.
