Does anyone know how I can find out what D* channels are broadcast by which satellite and specific transponder? Sure would make it easier to troubleshoot "Searching for satellite.." problems on specific channels. I am in the Washington DC area and I'm not sure which transponders are OK to be 0 and or low without causing a problem. I am currently having a problem receiving 202,267,273,280 and 282. I'm getting 78 or above mostly 80's and 90's on most active transponders on all 6 sat's. On 103b tuner 2 I'm not getting any signal on active transponders but with tuner 1 I get 88 or above on all active transponders. I feel I'm blind in trying to troubleshoot channel problems without a cross reference.

Thanks
 
WELCOME!

Do you have a heading compass to know where you are aimed at the moment? Can't see how that chart would that make it any easier as that routinely can change; you just need to make sure you are aimed correctly at the required heading. Post your zip and what you are wanting to accomplish with the chart and maybe we can help you out the right way to get you going.
 
Only missing 5 channels

Well it seems to make sense to me if I can associate a channel problem with a specific satellite and it is one all the way to the left or right of my current point, I may be able to fine tune the azimeth or cut a few branches of my maple tree that are close to the sat window area. It seems that this sat/transponder/channel information should be available somewhere. My current dish aim was set by the D* installer using a signal strength meter.

So how's the picture quality on the new HD channels????

Why would D* only carry 3 of my locals in HD?
