SatelliteGuys.US DishNetwork Uplink Activity Discussion - Week Ending 07/21/2007

[digiblur]

New SD test channel on the almost vacant QPSK TP 17 at 110W.
Lots of international adds/moves to 118.7. Looks like they are preparing for a 118.7 international campaign. Makes perfect sense to get rid of all the international mirrors scattered around wasting bandwidth. All Dish customers should have LOS to 118.7 since the core programming is on 119.

WHMM added to the New Orleans, LA SD locals spotbeam on 110W.

Do we still need a special LNB to get 118.7 or do they come in fine with the regular 110/119 Dish500.

You need one of the LNBs that are on the + dishes (500+ or 1000+).

The Dish500+ or Dish1000+ is required as this bird is in the 11.7-12.2 band in circular mode.
