    why is dish moving all international programs off of the 121 sat? Are they trying to make room for HD or something?

    im thinking that everyone hacks 121 so they started 118, because you have to use the different lnb. you cant wingdish 118.

    Hell no! I'm sick of Super Dishes. I don't like the 118.7 either.

    Dish is trying to consolidate internationals...cripes they were at 3 spots at one point
    61.5
    148
    121

    so they're moving everything to 118.7

    121 they will use for business channels and have been renting space out on it
    Winegard 76cm dish, SG2100 motor, Sadoun dual KU LNB..... Directv Slimline SWM 3 LNB.... GeoSatPro 36" dish with Sadoun dual KU LNB... Coolsat 5000 on motorized.... Manhattan RS1933....Directv HR34 (yes the 5 tuner monster) GeoSatPro 200 to aim dishes.... few receivers not set up yet
    Two 6 foot Fortec dish with GeoSatPro dual C-Band LNB "ghetto moved" to various C-Band satellites

    The SuperDish was a "super" disaster for Dish. Both 121° and 105° are being taken out of the Dish system. They will be used for other services and leased out.

    See ya
