Satellites with no regular Ku band transmission have been removed from this list,
This is just a guide some transmissions may require a larger dish depending on your locatiom,
For example ESPN & MSNBC are a lot weaker than 3 years ago @ 15 west,

Also remember if you are after feeds these are sometimes a lot weaker & require a larger dish.
