SK-3005 can't find DirecTV 110 ?
Anyone else having this problem? As of today there is no carrier off of the three transponders on 110 used by DIRECTV, so it really doesn't matter, but the dish takes at least 15 minutes to align it s...

UPDATE..
I've now done this expirement twice: Once in January, and again this week
When in the desert: Quartzsite, Palm Springs, La Quinta (Lake Cahuilla), I see 110W and the dish locks and aligns to it just fine, and the two transponders shown on the list do have carrier, although not strong.
When "over the hill" to the west: Temecula (about 50Mi W from Cahuilla), Santa Clarita, and all the way to the Ventura coast, 110W is not received at all. And the antenna takes a LONG time to go through alignment: 15-20min easy because it's missing one of the 3 satellites it's attempting to align itself on.
Earlier in the thread someone said 110 was being used in Puerto Rico, and I was able to confirm that. But it's obviously got a spot beam to the east of the Los Angeles basin; Las Vegas, Phoenix, etc.. It's too bad there aren't more folks that can look for this around the country. It would be interesting to see where else 110W shows up ?
