Can anyone provide a link to a decent transponder list for the DirecTV
satellite at 119 degrees?

Specifically, I'm trying to find what transponder my local TV stations in
Eugene Oregon or using on that satellite.

Lyons does have a lot of information. However it does not have THAT
information.

I just corrected the unexplained omission of 28.

Sorry for the spell-checker F-up. That first word was, of course,
Lyngsat.

MY thanks to ALL who responded. I got my information.... and was able
to figure out how to get my local network stations on my RV receiver, even
though I am only using a single horn feed dish. Had to re-aim it at the
119 satellite, but no problem.

Where did you get the information? Most of the sources I have seen tell
you what sat the stuff is on but not the transponder. Through
trial-and-error I was able to discover the Pittsburgh channels were on
transponder 28 of the 101 sat, but it took a long time to work it out.
I would have loved to have looked it up somewhere.

I told the source of my information in my post (TiVoWebPlus).

For locals on sat-A (101), DirecTV lists channel numbers in the
884-994 area. The range corresponds to transponder channel:

TV chan 884-899 is on tp chan 20
TV chan 900-915 is on tp chan 12
TV chan 921-936 is on tp chan 4
TV chan 944-959 is on tp chan 28
TV chan 961-976 is on tp chan 18
TV chan 979-994 is on tp chan 26

Such information is unavailable for sat-B (119) locals (apparently
because only 1 satellite was in use at the time those older receivers
were current, and they were not designed for use with more than 1).
