EchoStar Signs Agreement to Distribute WildBlue High-Speed Internet Service

Dish Network used to use the 105 slot for locals but have taken those down and put those channels at other orbital locations such as 129 for example.

I'm laughing that someone is relying on Lyngsat data

If indeed they are using AMC15 or 16 they spotbeams are pretty large on those birds compared to the other KA spotbeam birds but you never know how many TP's are in each spotbeam.

Thanks for the info Stargazer.

Is there another, better source for transponder information than Lyngsat? SES's doesn't have nearly the amount available on their site.

Thanks in advance.

[Stargazer]

I am not sure.

[broadbandinabox]

Thank you regardless Stargazer.

digiblur, do you know of any site that's better than LyngSat for transponder lease information, etc.?

[digiblur]

No, that information is not released all the time. Nor is the lease used all the time. Best thing to do when looking is use a spectrum analyzer of some sort. Lyngsat counts on users in the US to update the thing but updates are slow so you really can't use it for live data. I've sent data to them in the past a couple of times and they never updated it.

I've sent data to them in the past a couple of times and they never updated it.

I too used to send updates to Mark. But after a while some of the data wasn't getting entered correctly. Don't know if he had some temp hires or what, but I didn't want my name in the credit column for info that wasn't accurate. So I just quit sending him stuff.
