Satellite number for HD channel displayed

[stck4evr]

Not sure when did this software feature go in (I have VIP622 with software L512), but I just noticed that if you hit the INFO button twice on an HD channel, there is a little satellite icon with 61.5, 110 or 129 displayed. Interesting to see which channels my receiver picks (some HD channels are beamed on both 61.5 and 129 is my understanding)... I have VIP622, dish 1000 and dish 300 pointed at 61.5

I saw a discussion on this before, don't don't remember when it was added. It appears on all channels, not just HD ones. Wish it was included on completed dvr events.

It was added in L510, IIRC. It's interesting as I see some channels on 61.5 one day and 129 the next.

It's useful to know which it's on. Why would it matter once it's on the HDD for the DVR?

I applaud Dish for doing it.

Yeah, I didn't notice this until last week. Good add on their part.
