According to Lyngsat they show Galaxy 4R at 76.8 degrees but other charts show it at 99 degrees. G4R and G4R Ku are together and G4R Ku is still active (X4) at 99 degrees, at least the radio feeds are, so I'm assuming the bird has not been moved. Lyngsat shows Galaxy 16 at 99 degrees instead (with no Ku). Anybody have any info on this? Are they jumping the gun on this change? This weekend is going to see a major re-alignment of my dish and I'm just trying to get all my ducks (birds) in a row for when I start reprogramming them.
 
nope. Lyngsat is right

G16 went to replace G4R at 99W since G4 is old...they moved G4 to 77W right now but in an inclined orbit so once in a while you can find a feed...but rarely

but G16 is at 99W for both C & KU...but some of us (and folks with 4DTV) still call them G4 :)
