While viewing the channel press the Info button then the Recall button.

Press the "Info" button twice while watching the channel.

Press the "Info" button twice while watching the channel.

Pressing Info button twice does not work for me. I tried with a 40.0 & 54.0 remote control. Which remote are you using?

I'm using a Logitech Harmony, but it works the same on my 20.0 remote.

When I get home I will try out my 20.0 remote. What Hopper model do you have? I am on H3

Since the OP didn't specify what receiver he/she is using, I just assumed he/she has the same 211K equipment I have.

I tried out my 21.0 on my H3, WJ, and 4KJ. Pressing the info button twice does not ID the satellite. Maybe it just works on the 211K equipment. Maybe the OP will let us know what equipment he has.

On a Hopper3 press menu twice, go down to Dish click it, this way you get the Sat and the transponder.

Even a little quicker, press "Menu" twice and then press "3"...
