I don't worry a bit. I'm sure they will keep them going some how.

I would guess they would be reprogrammed.

Existing dome antennas will not be able to see the new KA satellites at 99 and 103 (Thought it was 93 and 103) in fact, they can't see them now.

Just curious as to why? Is it something about the signal or could the dome be reprogrammed to "see" these signals like they do with the 101?

KD picks up many satellites now. KD says it can be reprogrammed.
Could not check out the site as I did not want to register with them.

Ka uses higher frequencies than Ku and so needs a different LNB.
