Old ui looked cleaner to me

Also I forgot to mention 148 west.

148 the satellites died many many moons ago (before you were a glimmer in your parents eyes)

 

[Mr Tony]

That's pretty interesting. This whole time I thought 129 got hit by a piece of satellite debris. Also did customers that used to have 1000.4 turbo hds with the 77 72 61 lnb have mexican service or is that a different 77

Different 77. Satellites can have different beams. There are satellites that have some transponders aimed at the US and some at Mexico or Caribbean. These aren't Dish or Directv satellites.
129 is still out there but Dish didn't own it. They rented it.

Dang that kinda sucks for 129. I do wish they had unencrypted satellite test channels still or at least make channel 101 dish101 and 119 scapes

Dish figured out they didn't need to use 129 anymore so not a big deal. 2 satellites on east and 2 on west. Makes it simple

I didn't think about that. It seems better too for no more 118 so you can use a 500 instead of a big heavy plus

118.7 had international channels that dish now streams. There weren't that many channels on there so dish decided no reason to pay someone else (since they didn't own it) to use it.

118 was essentially what Primestar was, a medium powered satellite that required a larger dish and different LNB than what DirecTV and Dish had when they launched with 18" antennas and high powered satellites at 101 and 119 that used the smaller and more modern LNBs.

Dish was just cobbling together whatever they could to make everything they could offer work.

Also one day I would like to make my own excel superHD reciever that can use any FTA satellite. With a special feature whenever you select a specific satellite in the point dish menu you can tune to a special test channel that is downloaded to a chip that detects a signal. It would play music with a screen like this (any satellite name )

In the photo I sent. The ui would be based either off a dish jvc reciever or ExpressVU 6131 (just ui layout not encryption) it would also have 2TB of dvr space.

Here's my screens I made on Google drive yesterday. Took about 2hours. Hope you enjoy!
