My HD locals on Sat 129(?) have recently begun breaking up.
I suspect dish aim but would like to confirm signal strength first.
Can someone please point me to information that will tell which transponder
is being used to spot beam HD locals to Tulsa OK?
Thanks in advance

The Echostar Knowledge Base chart (http://www.dishuser.org/dishlist.php) says 129° tr14s36.

That chart appears to be almost 6mos old. Is there a newer version floating around somewhere?

Actually you can find out just using your satellite receiver as long as you can get your locals at least some of the time. Just tune to a local channel then go into the menu. Get to the point dish screen and the TP for your local should be the one that the satellite receiver is tuned to.
