AMC-5 any good?

I was looking at the list, and thinking about aiming a dish at AMC-5. Anything good there?

New York Net, which has horse racing and some educational channels are the 24/7 on there. Along with Telemundo (Spanish channel)

Lots of news feeds (you'll do lots of blind scans on this one). Thats the satellite I used when I did my Samsung review on Sunday (when the plane crashed) and AMC5 had a lot of feeds

Great! I also see KUEN has some movies on it.

If you like news feeds AMC 5 is arguably THE most active (KU) bird. Many of the feeds are from local affiliates and not national although some are. Also some sports feeds from time to time. Also some analog feeds here too.

BTW, AMC 5 is where I found a news feed with local interest for me last night. There is a guy on the loose up here in the rural area where I live shooting cops. 2 more shot last night bringing his total to 3 this summer. I scanned AMC 5 because I knew WIVB (CBS affiliate up here) had used this bird in the past. Caught some unedited interviews and footage. Link about the story:
