Ron,
Yes, my dish is a Tracstar SV360 and it does have a display unit. The display unit shows that I am on 101; 9 Southwest Locked on.
I went into the menu and checked the LAT/LONG and my numbers were 44 322 which was way off. I entered my correct LAT/LONG and nothing changed because I also had my zip code entered correctly in the system and it was using my zip code not LAT/LONG.
Tom,
Thanks for the explanation of transponders; it is starting to make sense now. Also, I have noticed that my display unit is toggling between 85 & 86. I assume that 85 & 86 are transponders; maybe that's why I can't lock on to certain transponders.
I think that this is DirecTV's problem, and hopefully it will be corrected shortly.
