Where are the New Satellites in the Sky?

[HD Dude]

Hi...

Woindering whether to upgrade.

I currently have DirecTV HDTV, using the 3-LNB oval dish. I'm getting a 95-100 signal strength most of the time on all three LNB's.

However, I'm pretty sure the signal is just skirting by some treetops.

If I go for the new, larger 5-LNB dish, I'm wondering whether I'll pick up the two newer satellites...or whether I should just leave well enough alone and stick with my current dish.

So in layman's terms, are the new satellites close to the three I already get? Or, can anyone tell me if they're situated farther East or West, or whether they're significantly higher or lower in the sky?

I'm in Maryland, 20817, if that helps.

I really appreciate it.

new sats are 99 & 103 you are currently getting 101 110 119... your new line up will be 99 101 103 110 119...
99 is 2 degrees east of 101 .. 103 is 2 degrees west of 101
chances are that is you are getting the triple sats ... you will probably get the other 2 cause the 99 is just slightly east of the 101.... 103 is between the 101 & 110

Thank you...I appreciate the information. I'll post once the installer leaves.

Fingers crossed!
