    EchoStar 25 @110W as early as 1st Quarter 2026.

    EchoStar Announces Spectrum Sale and Commercial Agreement with SpaceX

    As a minimum, Dish could buy the Directv's DBS transponders at 119W and/or 110W. I am not sure if Directv is using these transponders.

    ES XXV Satellite - Maxar and DISH

    What are the chances that Dish buys or leases the DirecTV transponders at 110W or 119W which would allow Dish to dump the 129W location?

    FOX Dispute?
