Networks on 99/103 Sats

[ansky]

Is there any programming carried on the 99 and 103 sats besides local HD channels? I'm in the NYC market and I get very low signals on 99 and 103, while the rest of the sats have very high signals. My HD locals fade out with even the slightest bit of rain. At this point I don't mind because I can just tune to channels 80, 82, etc. and those have no rain fade. But I am worried that D* will carry future HD networks on the 99 and 103 and I'll be having problems with those.

At this time it's just the locals, but starting in a few months there will be more national HD programming on those, assuming the next satellite doesn't run into problems. So unless you want to go out and try realigning the dish I'd recommend calling D* now and get it fixed.
