I have the slimline dish and two H20 receivers and am not seeing where I can get signals for 99(c). Since I seem to be getting all stations it doesn't really matter to me as everything seems to be working properly but should I reset the receivers or do something else?

On your receivers, you will see 99(a) and (b), and 103(a) and (b) in place of the (c) (CONUS) and (s) Spotbeam readings. I don't know why Directv hasn't changed that yet to make it consistent across models.

You have a non dvr which the D11 will show on the 99a. While dvr's show on 99c

I'm a little confused. I have a HR20-100 and an H20-100. I was trying to compare the transponder readings on these receivers for the 99 and 103 satellites. What's crazy is that it looks like for the 99 satellite, the (a) readings on the H20 match the (c) readings on the HR20 as your post states, but for the 103 satellite, the (a) readings match the (s) readings on the HR20, which is opposite of not only your post, but the opposite of the way the 99 readings work. Am I doing something wrong?

I can post the specifics, including which transponders are listed as n/a if it will help

This is being changed with new software d/l's

a, s = (spot beam)
b, c = (conus)

On my H20-600 I have observed the same result. 103a appears to be the spotbeams and 103b appear to be conus. I have been doing some experiments to see when the B-band converter switches to convert the B-band to the A-band and this shows the same result. 99a is conus and 103b is conus just like you have observed.

before they changed it on the HR20, it was 99b and 103a for the spotbeams. D10 came in as 103b. So thi led me to believe it was in this order:

99a (not yet launched at that time) D11 conus
99b Spaceway 2 spots
103a Spaceway 1 spots
103b D10 Conus

This a,b nomemclature works for left to right longitude position of the birds
left to right: 99a, 99b, 103a, 103b as they are located in the sky.

Equates to 99c, 99s, 103s, 103c
