61.5W where most of the 72.7W channels have moved...is it Echostar 12 or Echostar 16?

I am trying to locate 61.5 "way" south. Echostar 12 does not have a footprint here, only Echostar 16, but I can´t locate it with my birdog. What transponder should I be looking for? I need your help!! Thanks.

Are you located south of Mexico Momo? You are screwed!! Call your installer you probably need a 6 meter Dish!!

Well, crud. It looks like it's time to break out the chainsaw since this center tree seems to have grown into the signal path of 61.5W:

Echo12 is not in dish service anymore. It is being moved to serve Columbia South America.
