List of What Satellite a Direct TV channel is on?

Checking signal strength is good, but means nothing if I do not know what channel or even better channel/transponder a specific channel is on.

I upgraded to a Gemini from a Genie mini. The picture quality is terrible after the switch. It was perfect before. It is hard wired to coax using an ethernet adapter.
