Last I read from E*: E10 is still planned for 110 with a launch due early next year.
Speculation has E8 moving. It would make a great in-orbit spare for both E7 and E10.
The Canadian company is supposed to be building their own satellite for 129.

Just point it to the same degrees as telstar 7 on this list

BTW: Skew is unimportant on single DBS satellite dishes, so Azimuth 170.3 on a magnetic compass and an elevation of 34.8 would be the important numbers.goaliebob99 said:

Correct.justalurker said:
All should remember that there's TWO different kinds of skew.
One is the now common one used for multi-LNB dishes, the other is the traditional one still used for FSS birds. The first compensates for the difference in elevation between birds while the other compensates for the difference in angle for birds with linear polarization.
