The secondary distribution had, for years, been on Galaxy 3C/15C, but due to the issues at that location (see 95w Gone??), they had to make an abrupt move earlier this month. Galaxy 16/13C is just a brief stop in a transition from Galaxy 3C to Galaxy 19. The signals are on two different...

In ABC parlance, the feeds on Galaxy 16/21C are considered "primary" distribution.

Galaxy 3C reached end-of-life as a geostationary satellite and its replacement, Galaxy 35, isn't set to come online until next year.

C-SPAN is owned and operated by a consortium of cable companies and is paid for through subscriber fees, not taxes. That's why they encrypt. But if you are truly interested in the public affairs content C-SPAN broadcasts, they, along with many other outlets as well as the government agencies...

Sorry to say, but Music Choice most likely won't be back. The original 5G transition plans showed Music Choice and ShopHQ sharing a transponder, but later revisions to the plans deleted Music Choice altogether. A technical note on the GCI website stated that Music Choice would no longer be using...

More info here: https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/register-your-cband-dish.376185/. The filing window for registering a C-band dish closed on October 31, 2018. I bet I know what happened. The FCC had expected the C-band spectrum auction to raise about $50 billion, but the actual amount...

280 MHz of the 500 MHz of spectrum dedicated to C-band satellite downlink in the contiguous United States is being auctioned off (beginning in about 24 hours, incidently). There will be an additional 20 MHz guard band between the auctioned off spectrum and the spectrum that remains for...

Interference has been expected all along. That's why there has long been a plan to use proceeds from the FCC's C-band spectrum auction to provide free filters to every C-band satellite dish that was registered with the FCC before the 2018 registration cutoff date.

4000-4200 MHz is what will be left for C-band satellite signals specifically targeting the 48 contiguous United States. If you're talking about Shepherd's Chapel, the transition plans show that signal moving to Galaxy 16 TP 15 beginning on or around December 6, 2021. That's where the LESEA mux...

This is what SES is proposing for the maximum possible reception area for AMC-6 at 139 °W. The actual reception area will be smaller than this, but SES wants leeway from the FCC to be able to reorient the satellite's two spotbeams to anywhere within the area contoured in red...

Well, if you don't like the news, keep in mind Ku-only Horizons 2 is supposed to be moving (back) to 74 °W by the end of the year. Whether or not there will be video there is unknown. The license for AMC-6 was extended out to November of 2023 and I'm pretty sure I remember reading that there...

There's a swap going on. AMC-6 is moving from 83 °W to 139 °W and AMC-18 will move from 139 °W to 83 °W. Apparently, SES wants to modify the footprint of the satellite at 139 °W to include more of northern Canada, but needs a different satellite than AMC-18 to do so. AMC-6 will only be used for...

As far as I know, neither country has decided at this time to repurpose C-band spectrum between 3700-4200 MHz.

From SES's C-band Transition Implementation Plan

Signals intended for the Lower 48 United States will only be permitted to use 4000-4200 MHz. Signals not intended for the Lower 48 can still use 3700-4000 MHz, assuming the regions and countries those signals are targeted toward don't go through with C-band reallocations of their own. You will...

It's all in the detailed transition plans on file with the FCC. The new C-band satellites are headed to... 89 °W 91 °W 95 °W 103 °W 103 °W (as a full-time spare) 113 °W 121 °W 127 °W 129 °W 131 °W 133 °W 135 °W Additionally, Galaxy 30, ordered back in 2018, is headed for 125 °W after launch...

That information is outdated. Here are the new assignments. 135 °W: AMC-10 was retired. AMC-7 in now at this location in inclined orbit and AMC-4 is in geostationary orbit at 134.9 °W. 137 °W: Intelsat took over this slot and placed Intelsat 5 here in a highly inclined orbit. The only...

Here's a corporate PR piece Charter put out describing how important they believe C-band spectrum is to their 5G wireless efforts. They, along with most other cellular providers and the technology industry, are calling on the FCC to reject the C-band Alliance's proposal to simply reallocate 200...

There are two proposals going through the FCC regulatory process pertaining to what to do with the C-band spectrum. Shrink the amount of the 3.7-4.2 GHz spectrum allocated for satellite use and reallocate for 5G cellular use. This is almost certain to happen, since North America's four main...

Midco has also filed to do similar testing in Minnesota and the Dakotas. Midco pursues trial at 3.7-4.2 GHz in 3 Midwest locations | FierceWireless

Here's a new article detailing the business world's perspective on the plans for C-band. Wall Street has been very eager to see the satellite companies auction/sell at least 100 MHz of C-band spectrum to the cell phone companies, due to the amount of money the satellite companies would raise. As...

But you're OK with publishing your name, location, ham radio call sign, and picture of yourself on a public forum?

Those analog VSEN feeds shown on Anik F2 at LyngSat have been gone for years. Evidently nobody ever informed the webmaster. They were part of Virginia's distance learning network serving schools in the state, but virtually all those sorts of things are done over the internet these days. I think...

360 North is streamed online, at http://www.360north.org/watch-360-north-live/ If you have a network sniffer, you can get a .m3u8 link that you can load into FTA boxes that have IPTV capability.

The 4DTV signal is gone. The new signal is DVB-S2 8PSK, but in ACM/VCM mode, so the parameters are constantly changing. Most STBs are unable to tune in a signal that uses ACM/VCM, but computer tuners generally can with the proper software.
