Each channel you tune in on your Dish receiver is on a particular transponder and a particular satellite. When you tune in channel 200 (CNN) the receiver looks at a map which says channel 200 is at 119° transponder 19. If you were to do a signal check after tuning to channel 200, you will see the signal strength on tp 19 at 119 show up.
If you tune to channel 9429 (National Geographic HD) the receiver looks at the map that take it to transponder 22 at 61.5° or transponder 30 at 129° depending on what dish configutration you have.
