For DVB S2 a new receiver will be required and possibly a bigger dish.

so does this mean i need to reprogram g 10 to make it g 17 now and still leave it at 123 or change that also around ? this is soo confuseing for me

you can rename it if you'd like but other than the name changing, nothing else will

Heck in an old Pansat I still have names like GE4 & T5 (whioch are now AMC4 and G25)

Has anyone noticed any difference on G-10 ku signal on 11720 lately. We have big storms in the forcast here with cloud cover and my signal seems the same as it was. So has the swapout been done yet?

i saw a old post about that where either dish network or direct tvs sat is interfering with the signal i could be wrong dont quote me on it

One of the guys did a spectrum analysis of the two birds a while back and it seemed that there wasn't adjacent satellite interference on that transponder any more.

I've been thinking of tweaking my dish but was checking WSTV yesterday on the 2nd LNBF and the signal was the same as when I installed everything last summer. Since that is off boresight. I figure that would show some degradation first.

That's why Im wondering if the swap happened yet. If it did... there is no improvement on my end.

I have been a way and came back to this post--scared me at first!
So, let me get this straight, the bird know as Galaxy 10 at 123W is being replaced by a new bird?
1. When will the new bird be operational?
2. Will it be seemless to us? i.e. all the same channels at all the same transponders?
3. Will the footprint over North America be any different?
4. Please explain the rest of the posts re: Galaxy 17 & 18.
