[VinceT3]

Interesting.. guess they'll be some fun stuff to look for on 61.5/72.5/77/105/110/119/121/129/148 Do they own any other spots?

funny stuff with them.

they have the OBAMA channel. Nothing but him 24/7. Talk about trying to brainwash people.

Just another reason I no longer sub.

Oh, here we go again! It's a PAID ADVERTISEMENT! If McCain wants to buy time on Dish, he can too!

Exactly! I wouldn't want to see McCain either. It just adds to the debate of having to pay for channels you don't want. Remember when TV was free and they made their money from the PAID advertisements.

Since I have found this site, I am die hard FTA.

OTA + FTA + Media Box = all the TV i can handle. Watch the shows I want, when I want--> for FREE.

Yep... the good ol' days! But, now on "Pay" TV, there's even MORE paid programming

Everyone could use some Mighty Putty, lol.

it says 50 KU transponders so thats 105 & 121

a year ago those 2 sats were flooded with somewhere around 100 news feeds

Dish is renting 105, they own 121 and arent doing anything with either one right now except for renting space

It's Ku-band capacity that Echostar has leased out for election feeds.

There won't be election feeds over the DBS satellites unless it's the final product intended for the end user to subscribe to (CNN, FOX News, CNBC, etc.)

The good thing about any of the politicial paid programming channels is that I don't have to come across them since they are put in groups with other paid programming. I have all the C*AP and TRASH channels removed from my DISH Network channel-flipping lineup.

Also, the news announcement said "FSS satellites", not DBS birds, so that sort of limits the satellite list, too.
I think Iceberg is correct, and you'd best look to 121°, and maybe 105°.

edit:
Looks like 118° (technically FSS frequencies, but circular) is pretty full with all the International and HD locals.
Though,.... what's actually on transponders: 13, 14, 21, and 31/32?
(transponder 14 is NT105, whatever that is)

Well there is the evil FD

Not that I can talk about it. But when I was looking up into the stars over the weekend. One sat produced a ob channel and it wasn't DN.

Hope that is enough of a hint for you guys.


Later,

85, 105 and 121 are the sats. I doubt the open transponders on 118 will be used because I don't think many tv station portable uplinks or downlinks support circular polarity transmissions.
