    I threw my hopper 3 in the waste bin when I dropped satellite. But I would buy another one if they created a software system that supported most of the streaming services in a curated system where I could find things fast. Would not want the satellite service but would be happy to pay a fee...

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

    EchoStar 23 (Conus beam) will still be at 110W so there can be some Conus beam coverage from 110W depending on how many transponders they use for the spots.

    Correct. 110 will be 100 percent spot beams for locals. 119w is the Conus satellite that will provide everything else.

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

    Could be something like risk analysis where they have concluded putting the newest satellites on Western Arc protects the most customers. And that is just a guess.

    Dish SAT 119 Lost since Sept 5 2025

    Your are describing service through a VPN. The problem is it may work and then, right in the middle of the football game or whatever , it will be blocked. The providers scan their services and figure out when a connection is through a VPN. Then they block that IP address. And not a fast...

    Dish SAT 119 Lost since Sept 5 2025

    It gets complicated. It's like the dvd region system where content has to be licensed for the region. So his packages like Netflix or Amazon would not be the same as the US version. And in general, networks would be blocked.

    EchoStar Announces Spectrum Sale and Commercial Agreement with SpaceX

    They are hoarding the frequencies. The satellite is in an inclined orbit, and FCC refused to renew a normal long term license. If I remember correctly, FCC gave them a few year (short term} renewal so either they need to start productive use or sell the slot in the next couple of years.

    yes FCC made some major upgrades to their records system this summer and I had to do some digging to find the right files.. A preliminary look at the contours using the ITU system indicates it is a conventional spot beam satellite similar to their other newer satellites. It will take me some...
