Help! What Satellite and Transponder are Salt Lake City Locals on?

[pilotpierce]

So I just started having problems this last Sunday. I come home from dinner at the in-laws and I'm not receiving any locals! I look and see that my 103 signal strength is kinda low(high 60's), so I get up there and tweak it a little bit and get it up to the low 80's. That restores everything, even though I'm pretty sure my locals aren't on the 103 because that's the new bird and we've had them in HD for a while. Anyways, I come home from work today and notice that they are out again. We've had the dish since September 07 and I can't see that the dish has moved, it's attached right on the roof, but I'm wondering what sat and transponders I need to get up in order to get the locals working again. We don't have any off air antenna, and I'd rather not call them if I don't have to, I will though. And no I don't have the protection plan. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! :)

It's pretty tough to align the dish for just one specific transponder. If your 103º satellite readings are peaked, your other other satellites should be good, too.

Please post back with your signal readings for each satellite's transponders (and both tuners if applicable). You'll find these readings under "Menu" -> "Setup" -> "System Setup" -> Satellite -> "View Signal Strength".

Fill in your readings for each satellite and tuner using these examples:
