Basic Directv - which satellite?

[jags]

I've noticed that Directv has 4 or 5 birds right around 101w. Which satellite actually is used for Directv's basic service when you use an old style dish with just a single LNBF?

That would be AMC4 at 101w

That would be AMC4 at 101w

Are you sure? According to LyngSat AMC4 does not carry any Directv signals. LyngSat shows 4 Directv birds within 2 degrees of 101W. They are:

DirecTV 11 - 99.2W
DirecTV 4S/8 - 101W
DirecTV 9S - 101.1W
DirecTV 10 - 102.8W

So I was asking of these 4 birds which one is used for Directv's basic service when you use an old style dish with just a single LNBF?
