What will I do after satellite changes?

EA is perfect. Neighbor won't agree to tree removal to get WA.

I installed an EA dish a few years ago at a fellow's mother's country house. I think the WA had a clear view as well. The son though, had an apartment with no view, so he paid for mom's Dish service, and used the DishAnywhere app to stream programming from her Hopper to his apartment.

Last word we got was 2029

Claude dug this up for me. Fits 2029

The Nimiq 5 lease between EchoStar/DISH and Telesat has been extended to October 2029. During October 2024, DISH extended the Nimiq 5 lease, after which it is accounted for as an operating lease. (Echostar) That extension pushed the lease termination out to October 2029. (SatelliteGuys.US)
The satellite was built for a 15-year operational life after its 2009 launch (Skybrokers) , so this extension takes it well past its original design lifespan.

They could move select markets off 61.5 to free up space for conus.

Then they could drop the 72.4 w slot and be down to a single east and 2 west .

I'm on the EA and most of the channels are already on 61.5.
