FYI
I read over at Casey's a rumors that there will be a new Ku band service at 116.8W which will co-locate Galaxy 16 & 17 at that spot. The word on the street is there may be up to 500 channels in Spanish and Portuguese programming for free and in the clear at that site. The footprint will be for the South and Caribbean. (Maybe Florida, eastern southern US?
Those with ku motorize system keep an eye and lets see if this comes true.
