D satellite location

[radrb8]

Can anyone tell me which direction and how high in the sky the D satellites are. I'm just south of Cleveland and had to have a second dish installed for HD aimed at 61.5 for my HD from E. In order to pickup HD locals I need a third antenna. Are there any solution from D to help me eliminate my growing antenna farm?

For Cleveland, you should only need one dish, whether you choose D* or E*. 61.5 isn't required for your HD from E*. They can replace both of your dishes with one Dish 1000.2 for 110/119/129. That would also get you the STO RSN, which isn't on 61.5.

D* also has a one-dish solution, bigger (with 5 LNBs), but it points in about the same direction.

Sorry, let me clarify. We had to add the second E* antenna because we lost our HD signal because of trees.

I'm not sure if you would need a 2nd dish with D* (if your locals come off the 72.5), but most people can get D* with one dish, the 5 LNB.

The sats for the 5 LNB are located at the 99/101/103/110/119 slots.
