Galaxy 25 Replacement

[Cemguy]

When is the replacement of the Galaxy 25 satellite scheduled to occur?

When that happens, what will those of us with the Fortec Mercury II receiver have to do to continue to receive the programming that will (hopefully) be transfered to transponders on the new satellite?

Since, apparently, the new satellite will be "co-located" (I guess that means close enough to the old one to not require re-aiming of dishes?), would we just do a "Power Scan" of Galaxy 25 as if the programming were still there?

Will we have to "add" a satellite in the menu system so the scan checks for the new satellite name?

when a satellite replaces another one, as noted its seamless to the end user. Plus its done in the wee hours of the morning
