110W Transponders 07 and 13 have been in and out for me. What I want to know is whether or not it is trouble with the satellite or my equipment? I checked against the actual Dish transponder list on it, the 2 listed are only effected, of course - a whole lot of spotbeams.

Thanks
 
Transponders (TPs) 7 and 13 on 110W are both HD TPs as well as 17 and 19. Unless you have a HD receiver i.e., models 6000, 811 or 921, these four TPs will register 0. You also may get 0 readings on spotbeam TPs depending on whether you are within the spotbeams for a TP. The spotbeams are 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 on 110W and 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 on 119W. Hope this clears up your question.
 
Well, part of my locals located on the 110W are gone, some PPV and Interactive TV, I thought it was because of the above stated transponders not having signal. It was also an assumption on my part that I did have signal on those transponders before. I have a DP301. I checked on Lyngsat to see on which transponder my locals were and I've got 120+ signal on that transponder, also I am missing 110W transponder 29 channels (interactive, ppv). They're not in the guide at all while I have very good signal (100+)
