NYDutch I understand your point, but there must be a reason why they (Dish) requested that 77°W orbital slot they have the FCC blessing. They also had a 10 year lease that expired on November, why would they spill that kind of money if they didn't have a need for that orbital slot? There is...

So what's your take? there are 3 active orbital slots in West ARC and only 2 in the East ARC? less people living in the East Coast? Less content in the East ARC?

Dishnetwork not renewing the lease of those transponders only indicates me that they're not in their best financial moments.... I will guess the Mexico operation is struggling as well, time will tell, the fact is that they do not own the satellite what they own is the permission of the FCC to...

To bad you didn't post anything in the threads regarding the moves on locals migrating to other satellite from that orbital slot (77°W), al we did was speculate......but eventually (November 9) we finally learned.

Some time ago I posted a question that might be helpfull: HERE you might have other options for Local HD on West ARC but you will need to post levels from the S.B.: TP #1 & #5 A20 that serves Tampa (SD). TP #2 B20 Fort Mayers (HD) Miami. TP #3 B21 that serves Miami (SD). TP #4 B20 West Palm...

What you mention is B2B. In this case I agree if a new CODEC is needed then they might change for free between B2B, or based upon the number of subscribers, also the broadcast or data transfer via fiber is vast. My point was based upon B2C (Service Providers to Customers) and more specifically...

No way they will include 100% english content.....what they do is they have affiliates or latin operations different names, that send the same content a 2 o 3 months latter than the first broadcast most in both Spanish and english at least in the DirecTV (AT&T). The space should be because of...

The only surprise for me was the reason, no one here had an answer for the reason of the migration, I was guessing, and one of my guesses was the leasing contract with Quetzsat was due on November 2021, now the puzzle is complete (at least for me), I could say that Dish doesn't have the cash...

I posted this back on June 23.....Seems the Option B was the real option..... Their first and unique priority was to migrate all the locals to other orbital slots to continue providing for their customers..... They even didn't care about most SD out of 77°W as a matter of fact SD is only...

Now we might find the answer of the real reason why they where making the changes and I would like to see what the members who said the changes were to avoid people out of the US to receive US content have to say about this.....

this is all related from a previous thread HERE from June they've been making big changes and now for all the skeptical who posted this was becase they wanted to avoid people out of the US to receive US content.......Now it would be interesting to see what they have to say....

Wow....I didn't see the date...LOL hope it helps other members nearby

As Rosarito is roughly 20 Km from the border I see no problem you can receive the signals from the West Arc 129°W; 119°W & 110°W, even with the original hardware being used....there MUST be plenty of local dealers since my best guess is that there's a large amount of US citizens living in Mx and...

Looks like your antenna is not well aligned.......if you go for Kiwisat, the satellite has a better footprint and an average technician will do the trick. When in fringe the best thing to do is align a single antenna to each satellite, sharing the antennas surface (gain) is for people very close...

the thing is that there are a lot of people receiving also DirecTV US in Mexico, all those dealers don't need to sweat so much because lucky for them Mexico is so close to the US that the levels are so high a poor performance antenna will do, I'm amazed of the amount of people selling, I just...
