I just received my hr 20 and I had a question about the satellites. Which of the satellites contain the local HD stations? I ask this because one of my satellites (99) is showing signal strength only in the 60's and 70's for the most part. The others are in the 90's. Iwas wondering if something is wrong with the way my dish was installed. thanks in advance.

The HD Local channels are beamed from 99-deg and 103-deg, the new Ka-band satellites.

Chicago's locals are beamed from the 103-deg W Spaceway 1 satellite ....

Others in this forum have stated that Chicago's HD locals are beamed from sat 99 and not 103. I get a significantly higher signal strength on 103 vs 99. Can anyone confirm which satellite beams Chicago's Hd locals. Thanks in advance
