Carryout: DISH vs DirecTV

Postby KingJL » Mon Nov 16, 2009 9:26 pm

We are about to move fulltime to our 5th wheel. I plan on getting the Carryout. I am trying to decide on which service (DISH or DirecTV) to get to go along with the Carryout. Of prime concern (the wife's) is the ability to see other programming on the 2nd TV. I know that DISH standard (non-HD) programming is distributed across 2 statellites (110,119). I can find nothing about the ditribution of DirecTV standard programming vs staellite. I belive that most programming is on 1 satellite, but split between horiz and vert polarity. Can I assume that I will have more success with 2nd TV accessing other programming with DirecTV? Is there anywhere where the programming vs satellite information is published for either vendor? Any guidance that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I think I have found information that kinda solves my delimma (at least minimizes the consequences). I have found a site that lists the Dish network channels mapped to the correct satellite
( http://dishuser.org/dishlist.php ). It turns out that the channels that we are interrested in are all on the 119W satellite. The only issue with Dish is the lack of 119W coverage in ME,MT,ND,SD. I have to find out if the carryout can/will see the 72.7W satellite.
