Mapping of DirecTV HD channels to satellites

[Jeff79]

I am trying to find out which DirecTV HD channels are on which satellites (i.e. 99, 101, 103, 110). Can anyone provide a URL which contains this info?

Instead of digging down through that page.
These might help

Basicly...
103(b)/(c) carries the national channels
103(a)/(s) carries the majority of HD Locals
99(b) carries a few HD locals. (Appearantly being Sacramento, Vegas, and Reno)

101 Carries SD Nat channels
110 carries older HD channels (ESPN, TNT, and the Premium Movies)
119 carries primarily SD locals

Wow, unless I'm reading those lists all wrong, I'm only getting 1 channel off 119 now and 3 off 110.
I don't have the HD Extra pack, or any premium movie channels. I have locals and Total Choice Plus.

You do have the HD Access Pass, right? (I know its a stupid question, but sometimes stupid questions have to be asked)

Aside of 4 channels (Ovation TV, Fox Business Net, and 2 others), you should be damn near the channel lineup for Choice Xtra. Oh, and Choice Xtra doesnt have CSTV (Ch 610) in it.

The D* Channel Lineup, incase you dont already have it (http://www.directv.com/see/pdf/chnllineup.pdf)

110 carries older HD channels (ESPN, TNT, and the Premium Movies)

Thanks to everyone for the links.

Next question: Does anyone know if DirecTV has plans to move these HD channels (specifically ESPN and TNT) off of 110? (and, if so, when?)

The reason I ask is because the last time I had an installer out here (about a year ago), he said that he could not recommend an HD install because of tree interference with 110 (tree is on neighbor's yard), but said that I have a good line of sight for the other satellites. He also told me that DirecTV would be moving all of its HD content off of 110 by late 2007 and that we should reconsider an HD install at that time.

Si.
Eventually all the old MPEG2 HD channels will be converted to MPEG4 HD, thereby will most likely also be moved to the 103(b)/(c)

....

Probably by the end of this year. Expect more action after the new satellite (D11) goes live mid-year.
