I wonder if the new sat will have greater transmission capacity/speed?
Might there be a need for a new LNB?

Ahhhh, there it is. I had heard that they wanted everyone off that bird by
1/1/23, and most of their customers are already off it.
And, once again, the switchover is in winter. Have fun, WFO's poleward of 40

Greetings all,

was just issued announcing plans to change satellites "effective early 2023."
The tentative transition schedule is below:
NOV 2022: G31 Planned Launch Date
FEB 2023: Dual Illumination Period
APR 2023: Complete Transition to G31
Also of note is that the satellite we'll be switching to, Galaxy 31, will be a
new one launched later this year
