<div class="bbWrapper">Can someone point me to how I can figure out what sats my Dishnetwork feed are coming from? I was wondering if I needed another dish to get 61.5 (with all the HD rumors going around).</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">You will probably need another Dish. If you are getting channels like USA Network, Comedy Central etc then your Dish is NOT pointed at 61.5 <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">If you have a Dish 500 your currently receiving programming from the 119 and 110 locations. Below is a link that should be helpful.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://ekb.dbstalk.com/dishlist.htm" target="_blank" class="link link--external link--favicon link--favicon--before" style="background-image:url('https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=ekb.dbstalk.com');" rel="nofollow ugc noopener"> http://ekb.dbstalk.com/dishlist.htm</a> <br /> <br /> <br /> NightRyder</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Go to the menu on your receiver and run a check switch. It will show you which satellites you are currently receiving.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">And as an added bonus, the satellite and transponder that are selected when you enter the &quot;check switch&quot; screen are those that carry the channel you were just watching.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Ok this is what I have on my roof right now. I have a &quot;Starband Dish&quot; (not used for internet anymore) and a &quot;Dish 500&quot;.<br /> With the equipment I have now is there any way to get 61.5 without putting up a 3rd dish? <br /> <br /> What I have as of this moment.<br /> Dish 500<br /> DVR 921 (Two inputs from the Dish 500)<br /> <br /> Starband Dish<br /> Switch = SW44<br /> Dish 111<br /> DVR 501<br /> Dish 811<br /> 4th line runs to a room we don&#039;t use as of yet.</div>
