Simple questions, I think we lost good news feed on 103W* but on the other hand got 2 new super stations on 91W*.

Any other ones that is for 2019?

For C-band folks, create your own thread that way we don't want to mixed up together, so that way we can find out what we have gain and lost stations on C and Ku bands separately.

Can't say there were any earth shattering changes on Ku from this neck of the woods, other than 34.5 W adding Caribbean FTA. Hopefully others have some new news.

- more channels on 97W switched to HD
- the tests on 65W Ku
- increased power on LPB (not sure when that happened)

Not sure but there seems to be fewer channels on 97W. I used to get over 200 now only about 180. Not a complaint, just an observation. Could also be due to my neighbor's pine tree that has grown much taller and is directly in the way.

Maybe I can pay him to cut it down and replace with smaller one .
