SuperDish

The Super Dish Provides local channels from the Ku band from SES Americom's AMC-15 satellite.

It also provides local and international channels from EchoStar 9, which is also known as Galaxy 23/EchoStar 9 due to a joint partnership with Intelsat.

These two satellite services, and their older Fixed Service Satellite technology, were added to provide additional capacity that allows the DISH Network to complete the Federal Communications Commission's "must-carry" requirements for local channels, and make room for HDTV channels.

[1] The Super Dish receives standard Direct broadcast satellite (DBS) services in circular polarization at 12.7GHz from EchoStar's existing 110°W and 119°W slots.

Existing Super Dish subscribers were retrofitted with a "repoint kit" to receive most of the same services via the Anik F3 satellite, also in the medium-power FSS band.
