single dish for northeast available april

[deathmetal]

just ordered my 622 and the csr said I should wait until april unless I wanted two dishes on my house, because the new dish for my area that gets all the channels will be available then.I said no way, give me the 2 small ones,I just dumped D* because my wife freaked when they put up the new dish,I can imagine the size of THIS mutha!..interesting though,I hadn't heard of a single dish coming that would grab 61.5

 

[BFG]

Well I dunno what Dish this CSR is talking about, because there hasn't been anything introduced that will pick up 61.5/110/119 on 1 dish. If they do I'd like to see this right angle miracle

 

[Mr Tony]

unless Dish is going to move a satellite to 129 that will cover the whole US (which I doubt)

 

[Juan]

I thought they had permission at another canadian site (or were persueing it)

Once they move E10 over to 110, won't that give them a surplus at the slot that they could move over to 129?

 

[Mr.Pinkeye]

Man, that would be awesome. I wouldn't hold my breath, though.

That would be a good trick. Probably impossible, but still a good trick.

 

[JohnH]

Yeah, that would be a good trick. If you could find a large knothole in that tree you might be able to see it as the elevation in Quincy must be quite low.

 

[petrozio]

Is it possible for Dish to move the 61.5 sat closer to 110?

 

[navychop]

They'd have to have permission to use such a position, and the frequencies that would be used at that position. I suppose they could move to 105 (where they lease now), with a suitable application of the coin of the realm. But I doubt it would be feasible.

No, because 105 is not a BSS slot. E* has been trying to get permission to test BSS at a 4.5 degree spacing, but no luck so far.

 

[navychop]

Yep, forgot about DBS & Ka bit. You think there's any reasonable hope that such a test would ever be allowed? Surely the original spacing/power/frequency decisions were based on sound science. I hope.
