If a person can get a good signal with one, and they switch, should they be able to get a good signal with the other?

You for got about E*'s reportedly unstable 129. Isn't that where most of their HD is?

That is why I said "roughly"... 119 is in the "general" same direction as the 129

D* and E* do not face the same direction where we live. D* is more to the south and E* is more to the west. We couldn't even install E* where we live because of the direction! :(

Dish looks at satellites located at 61.5/110/105/118.7/119/121/129 &148 did I miss any?

Directv looks at 72.5/91/99/101/103/110 & 119 did I miss any here?

Only 110 & 119 locations are common to both services.

I agree with Earl,

Yup........but the 101 elevation for the DTV bird is higher than the DISH 110 & 119 . If there is a tree clearance issue you may need a pole or a saw. The directions are..........roughly..the same
