Transponders marked QPSK or 8PSK have SD channels, Locals transponders have local channels (HD and SD), Latino transponders have DISH Latino channels. Transponders marked Spots have multiple spotbeams carrying locals (or HD to Alaska/Hawaii/Puerto Rico). Transponders marked AAD are leased to All American Distants/NPS for their distant networks service.
Most HD channels have multiple mirrors - only one occurance of each channel per transponder is counted.
Red shaded transponders are available to DISH Network but have but have no active channels. (On 61.5 TP 23 and 24 are available for temporary programming per the FCC.)
