I have a friend with Direct TV.
He says he can get transponder info like sig strength per transponder per each bird etc.

I know where to get system info & how to align the dish etc with my ViP722 but I do not see any transponder info like my Direct TV friend can.

Where would I look using my ViP722?

You asked for signal strength per transponder per bird, this is in the point dish screen (menu-6-1-1). Perhaps you meant to ask for something else?

You go to Menu, 6, 1, 1 as stated above and you can change the satellite and transponder number with the menu and get the signal strength for each transponder.
