    ION , NASA and Angel One is on 119W and can be picked up (FTA) with a 18" dish with a circular LNB (either Direct TV or Dish TV LNB).

    FYI -- ION scans in on two channels for me R&R and PAX. I was expecting it to be labelled ION, so I took me a while to find it.

    Does anyone know why Dish broadcasts these and the ones on Nimiq 5 ITC? Obviously they have the ability to encrypt these channels as the hundreds of other channels on their sats are encrypted.

    I believe that NASA is a public channel and supposedly tax payer funded, I am not sure why ION and Angel One are in the clear.

    I am assuming Angel One is from the agreement Dish and Sky Angel had back in the day.
    Ion I dont know....and really dont want to know the reason. They have some decent shows on there (if you can wade through the paid programs)
    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

    I agree we watch ION quite a lot. Decent programming when it is not infomercials.
