Which transponder?

[indychris]

Hey, Guys-

I'm sure this is a novice question, but how do I know which transponders I am using? I know that I'm using satellites 110, 119 & 129, but not sure which transponders to check for signal. I am having reception issues even on clear days, often resulting in terrible pixilation. Not sure where to look to evaluate.

Thanks!

Hi, I believe if you first select the channel that you are interested in and have it displaying on the TV then hit the menu -> 6-1-1 you will get the dish point screen with the transponder that was in use.

Hope this helps, DC

The transponders that DISH checks are:

110 & 119: 14 15 16 21

129: 17 18

Thanks to both of you. :up

So can anyone give me an idea if these numbers are reasonable? Ever since the last time we had a tech here to repoint our dish after a bad wind storm, it seems our signal drops very easily. I'm wondering if our dish needs to be realigned?

110-14: 45
110-15: 43
110-16: 48
110-21: 42

119-14: 50
119-15: 53
119-16: 59
119-21: 57

129-17: 26
129-18: 32

129 stinks

The signal/quality level on 129 is awful. You need the dish peaked.
