Hi folks,

Without calling E*, how can I determine what channels I'm getting from each satellite? I have Dish 500 with an additional Dish 300 aimed at 61.5. I'm wondering if I need the D300 anymore. I think what I was receiving on it (HD content) has been moved to 110/119.

Also, pardon my ignorance, but what is DMA when speaking of locals?

Thanks

Go to the website, LYNGSAT.COM then click on American Sats. which will give you a list of every sat. including ehcostar 61.5 105 110 119 121 etc.
then click on whichever sat. you want (click on SID) and it will show you what channels are on the sat. and channel numbers...also DMA referes to which tv market you are in..i.e. New York, Chicago, Little Rock, etc..
