Congrats MosFET77! and thank you Brian for each and every contest.

" I want to win an Edision OS Mio 4k with The North America Project image". I would like to keep this great hobby fresh with something new. This receiver would let me do that from top to bottom.

Looking at Lyngsat launches for 2019-2021 I don't see a single satellite launch for North America replacement. Are our satellites doomed with no replacements when end of life comes? Just seems odd nothing going up for us. Satellites like Galaxy 25, AMC 8, Galaxy 16, all should be replaced soon.

Wow seems like just yesterday I saw it FTA. I'm getting old!

Does anyone know if and where RFD-TV is FTA? Seems like I used to watch it from time to time, but maybe that was when it was ITC? Thanks.

Same here in Wisconsin not even a hint of signal at 139W. Is that better?

I see on Lyngsat that AMC 18 is now heading West. Anyone know where it's going to be located? AMC 7 or AMC 8 slot?

I just called. Sure hope the feed stays up.

There is no way they are just providing the C-Band feed for the handful of us left with C-band dishes.

Looks like they lit up the new Echostar 105 bird? The barker channel now says Echostar 105W.

Thank you.

Where did SES-15 come from? It just showed up at 137W on Lyngsat. Is this a C-Band only and will it carry a signal load there? AMC-7 is dead right, but I didn't know they had plans for a replacement for that slot??

Thanks that makes sense now.

Thanks. I just checked there again and I still get nothing. Since it's going away, I'm not going to attempt any longer to figure out why I can't get any signal there. Thanks again.

It must be powered down because I've always had radio on there. Now nothing. I see AMC-9 is moving in that direction, maybe taking it's place until it also dies?
