Sunday Ticket HD question

[thorviking]

Hello, does anyone know which satellite the NFL ST games are fed from? I just installed a new Triple LNB dish and I get great signal from the 101 and 110 satellites but NOTHING from the 119. Is this going to affect any of the Sunday Ticket channels? I seem to get most of the other channels except DiscoveryHD and for some reason, I have no locals.

My main concern is the Sunday Ticket, can anyone provide me any info? Thanks. :confused:

Sorry I forgot to include this one in my original post.......................

Where in the sky is the 119 satellite in relation to the others? Closer to the horizon? To the south? To north? Etc.........

The 119 is much lower. At my location in N.C., the 101 satellite has a 42 degree elevation, the 110 a 37 degree elevation, and the 119 about a 31 degree elevation. :nono: This is causing me no end of problems in trying to upgrade to a Phase III dish. The 119 needs a lot more space to clear obstacles. Like trees, f'er instance. It's quite possible that the 119 is blocked on your dish.

As for Sunday Ticket, I'd like to know the answer to that myself. The schedule for the first two weeks lists all the games, including HD games, in the lower 700s-range, but I imagine Directv can assign whatever channel numbers they like regardless of the satellite in use. I would like to wrong about that. It'd be nice to be able to pick up NFL HD games off 101.

Dems, thanks for the info......

From DirecTV today: As for the HD games on the Sunday Ticket, Channels 719 and above will carry the HD games from the 110 satellite and the 119 satellite, depending on the game...... :nono2:
