While it may be easy to paint with a large brush, it isn't necessarily true depending on where you are. Several of the LIL markets in that area are on 119W (Eugene, Klamath Falls/Medford, Reno, Las Vegas, Chico/Redding, Bakersfield, Fresno, Tucson, Albuquerque/Santa Fe). There are 30 Sonic tap channels on 119W as well as and handful of PI programming and all of the HD programming that can be grabbed with a Ku setup.

Regardless of dish type, you're going to have to keep this in mind. All DIRECTV dishes need to see 101W.
The only programming in question is national sd, so your mentioning of local on 119 is irrelevant, as is the hd programming on 119. The only thing in the discussion is the Sonic Tap on 119 and maybe the PI channels. So where is the "far from all" programming you referred to?
The question was what the TS might miss, not some narrow subset that you've chosen to argue over.
How nice of you to change the context in an attempt to blunt my argument.
33+ channels is more than 10% of what you get, so that easily qualifies as "far from all" even without all of the other channels that you've arbitrarily chosen to remove from consideration.
You are wrong. The question is, and you posed it, is whether or not 101 provides much but not far from all of Directv's national sd programming. That's why the lil on 119 don't matter, nor does the hd programming on 119. Like I said, the only thing on 119 that matters for your argument is some PI channels and the Sonic Tap channels. If you want to use those to qualify your "far from all" claim, go ahead. You can be the only one in that room.
Given that the TS is planning to travel several of the listed areas, it is up to the them to declare what is on or off the table. Given the wider coverage of the SD spot beams, LIL may be of interest.
It is also up to the TS if the CONUS channels that are part of the programming package at 119W are of interest. As I pointed out, they represent perhaps more than 10% of the channel count.

And which CONUS channels are there on 119? Virtually all are music channels, not sd channels as you first described them. Like I said, go play in the room by yourself with all of the other people who care about those "sd channels".
Do you remember saying this? It's what I have been referring to. You don't seem to get that.
I do remember saying it and I stand by what I said.
It isn't clear to me what you're adding to the discussion, but you seem to be saying it over and over again.
You are quite obtuse. All I said was that your assertion of the percentage of national sd content on 101 is wrong. That's all I ever said in this thread. You are the one changing that parameter. If you wish to respond, go ahead. I will then close this thread since it's way off track. If the TS wants it reopened, please pm me and I will do so.
