Bronze Member Username: May_queenPost Number: 13 Registered: Apr-07 | Just curious - Seems like the International channels are available on 119 as well. Is there really a need for keeping a separate dish for E3 61.5? Wouldn't it be more efficient to just use 110/119? Thanks for the insight that anyone can provide. |

Bronze Member Username: BernardmiPost Number: 68 Registered: Dec-07 | I am happy with E3 at 61.5. Live in Eastern Canada and my backyard forest located west of my house blocks everything below 85 degrees. E3 is just above my head and gives an exceptionally and extremely strong signal here. Isn't the E3 replacement satellite being mounted on a Proton rocket right now ? That is going to bring changes at 61.5 anyway !!! |

Bronze Member Username: May_queenPost Number: 15 Registered: Apr-07 | I looked at the following: http://www.lyngsat*com/packages/dish119.html Seems like they include internationals here. I am not pointing to 119, so I can't verify. But lyngsat is generally accurate info. |
