Are those sats HD only? Do they carry regular SD channels too?

101 is just SD
99 & 103 carry HD and some MPEG4 SD locals but no regular SD channels

101 caries SD as well, thats where D*'s Core programming is.

Iceberg,

I know 119 carries the Spanish programming but what's on 110?

Ok great, then I should just barely be in the clear. Thanks for clearing that up guys.

110 had some MPEG2 HD channels (like 1/2 dozen)...they're gone now except for some commercial customers

so for the average consumer.....110 is vacant
119 has some markets SD locals too

Thanks. Since I'm new to D*, I've been wanting to know this information.

Want to make a minor correction to some of the previously stated info.

D12 (103) does carry two SD national channels.

GEB SD - Channel 363 - Golden Eagle Broadcasting that features contemporary Christian programming
Free Speech SD - Channel 348 which is a progressive-agenda television network and is also on E*.

 

[Mr Tony]

but from other posts these are in like widescreen SD so not everyone can get them. You need a HD receiver to see them

no problem...I'll even expand on it

72.5 use to have locals on it...they moved to 99 & 103 so folks who live in those markets get HD equipment from the get go
95 is Internationals (non Spanish)
