So far no news on whether they are going to use video and radios feeds.

Hopefully, it will be a satellite for us (video and radio)!

Since their filing a couple of months ago to request the Ku band, I put an LNB on my 99/105 dish in anticipation. Just waiting for a signal (after approval) to tweak the LNB!

We need a "new" (just a few years old) satellite for Ku, most of the others are getting "long in the tooth".

I scanned that location early this morning and I found three transponders, but no channels. Unless they're bleeding over from 95W. I haven't scanned that because it's supposed to be all DirecTV.

I tried again just a little while ago and got nothing. So either they're not full-time, or they're on the satellite at 95W that's in an inclined orbit.

My LNB for 93w needs a signal to tweak it, but I do now and then get a bleed-over from 91w, which has 11 transponders with a SR of 63999 (according to my Amiko). So you could be getting bleed-over from there.

EDIT: 11 transponders, not 6 as first typed.
