customer wants hi-def but no 110,119 help?

[rotomike]

He cant get the 110 amd 119 birds but 99,101,103 are good. 2 questions: will the receiever get through the set-up screens if not getting those 2 birds at all? Second question what channels will he NOT get because of it. just which hi-def are not on the new bird.

All of the new HiDef channels are on 99 and 103-deg W Ka-band satellites. Some HD channels are still beamed from 101, 110 and 119, including HDNet, HDNet Movies, HBO East, Showtime East, ESPN-HD, ESPN2-HD, Universal HD, TNT-HD, and a few others.

You can get through the satellite setup without receiving 110 and 119.

In answer to the "what's at 119" question, that would appear to be the MPEG2 feeds of ESPN2, HD Net, all of the MPEG2 New York HD channels and a couple of DNS L.A. HD locals.

Here's a useful web site that tells you what channels are beamed from each satellite ....
