Basic Question... Which Satellites?

[Nealio]

So I am switching from Dish to Direct today. I have a lot of trees in my area and had to go through 3 Dish installers to find a spot in my yard that would pick up the 110 and 119 satellites. My question is, which satellites does Direct use? I ordered the CHOICE XTRA package with HD channels. Also, does this require me to have 1 or 2 Direct antennas in my yard?

Thanks for the help!

The hd channels are on 99 and 103. You will need one dish for this.

Just go here and enter your info. Satellite Finder / Dish Pointing Calculator with Google Maps | DishPointer.com

Look for the multi LNB offerings from the drop down and select accordingly. For example, if you are getting a Slimline 3 Dish, you would select DirecTV SL3 99, 101, 103 from the drop down list.

Curious, what programming are you getting that you need the 110 and 119 ?

Dish Network uses 110 & 119

Directv has 110 & 119 too although in most cases not needed

110 is vacant right now (they only have 3 TPs there)
119 has Spanish channels and some locals. My local market for SD needs 119 but most major cities are on 101
