I have an automatic 3 LNB dish on my motorhome, but only have it programmed to look at 101, since all of the SD programming we watch was there. I prefer to leave it like that-- the automatic dish will find all three, but it's slower and occasionally fails if there's an offending tree branch or something in the way.

However, new posts on one of the RV forums indicate that some channels are being relocated to 119. Anybody know if that's true, and if it is, which channels? All I'm looking for are the SD versions of the standard stuff, plus HBO, etc., plus DNS-- are they all still on 101?

Thanks!

Once the HD channels on SAT 110 and 119 are moved to MPEG4 on SAT 99c there will be locals channels for certain markets added to 119.

EDIT: BTW the locals channels being moved to 119 are locals that are on SAT 72.5.

As far as I know all SD programming is still available from the 101 position. I have a single LNB auto dish which works well on all channels including HBO, SHO etc. As far as I know all SD programming will remain at that position for some time to come. Mine will occasionally lock on to a wrong sat so I have to restart its search.

Good to know, thanks. The quality of information about satellite TV on the RV forum is, uh, less than stellar, so I thought I'd check it out here. I don't care if they move locals around, as long as all the basic SD stuff stays on 101.
