H20-100 Satellite Numbers

1064 Views 7 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  texasbrit
Ok, this may seem kinda dumb but on the H20-100 the sats are numbered as 99a + 99b + 103a + 103b . Everybody is talking of 99c so I assume on of these I mentioned is really 99c. The H20-100 does not list a 99c. So the question is can someone give the me relative numbers.

Example : 103a = 99c (on H20-100)

Example : 99c = 103b (on H20-100) - ect.

If this has already been done... my apologies. j

I believe 99a (for H20 and H21) is the same as 99c (HRxx models).

103s on the DVRs is the same as 103a on the receivers
103c on the DVRs is the same as 103b on the receivers

99s on the DVRs is the same as 99b on the receivers
99c on the DVRs is the same as 99a on the receivers

Just very confusing since 99 is the reverse of 103.

Yes. VERY confusing. Why did they do that???
What's more strange, why are they still doing this on the H2x's? They can make those menu pages say whatever they want....

You would think so, wouldn't you? They have had plenty of time to
make the satellite designations the same.....

Thanks.
Seems then my 99b and 103a are doing only a few transponders. 99a and 103b on the other hand are lit up.

That would be quite normal. 99b/103a carry spotbeams for local HD and so you will only see a few of them - maybe only a couple at decent signal strength, the ones pointing at your city. Many will probably be low signals or zero.
