Some of these have been up for awhile but a couple are brand new.
2 are gonna be dedicated to true fta.
Add these as soon as you get the time then do a spot beam.
These launches usually test with some pretty new movies, as well as some adult stuff.

I seriously doubt you'll get any of the eastern birds with a 33" dish, but it will be ideal for most western sats.

Just check lyngsat.com.

That sucker just keeps on travelin!
Well, when it finally settles down maybe it'll actually be useful.

Yes thats big enuff for anything in the Ku band.
Some are C-Band but you need a 4 foot Bud for those.
