AMC 10 is a C band going to 135 replacing Satcom C-4. Being advertised as giving cable companies the option for more HD content.Chris Freeland said:Is this the FSS satellite that is going to 105 to replace the old satellite that E* is leasing from SES or is it the DBS satellite going to 105.5?
AMC-15, scheduled to leave Russia for 105 in August, will have 24 FSS Ku band transponders - just like AMC-2 that it is replacing except the footprint will be slightly better. (Only slightly.)Chris Freeland said:Thats what I thought, however if this is the DBS satelite going to 105.5, doesn't SES still need final FCC approval to use this slot for DBS service in the USA?
