Satellite Usages / Lineups

This may of been asked but I am not sure... I am one who wants it all..

Can someone pont me to a current accurate place that lists what each satellite is used for: (ie: channel listing or internet service, etc.)

This would help me decide on what satellites I need to figure out how to get.

Thanks

Excactly what preogramming do you wish to recieve when you say "wanting it all"? Where do you live? Are you new to Dish or do you already have a system intsalled & wish to upgrade?

The newest line of Dish recievers can only recognize 4 sat feeds,so having 5 on each reveiver willn ot work at this time.

Not new to Dish.. I have been a customer since model 3000 receiver. Still have it actually... I have been through several switch setups and am getting ready to change again...

But I have never really found a good link that shows what each SAT is used for. IE: what programming comes from what SATs.

I do understand some only cover a portion of the US. (spotbeams)

This is what I am looiking for a link that shows what programming is on each SAT and what portion they cover.

Thanks
