DirecTV satellites & channels

[Church AV Guy]

yes, I know this is the wrong place to ask this, but I expect someone will know where I should be asking it, or even where the answer is, or what the answer is. My question: Where is a list of satellites, transponders, and what channels are on each transponder? I expect it is a volatile list in that it changes a lot, but the info must be kept up-to-date somewhere.

At one time I was led to belive that all, or at least most, of the HD channels were on the third satellite. Well my dish lost the "C" LNB and I thought I would lose my HD content, but surprisingly, very little HD content was lost. This is what prompted the question. So where are the HD feeds coming from in satellite terms?

So can I be reasonably certain that I can get the Super Bowl without the 110 (LNB C) working on my backup dish? I really don't want to have to crawl up on my roof and take down my other dish just to drag it to church to show the game. (I am the church AV guy after all. :))
