echostar 19

Is there any advantage to reaiming my dish to echostar 19?  I'm on echostar 17 now.

    All depends. Are on Gen 4 or Gen 5 plan?

     

    If Gen 5 plan already, they most likely will not re-aim you unless there is some kind of benefit to you and the system, like increased speed and satellite/beam balancing.

     

    If Gen 4 plan, they may re-aim to 19 if you upgrade to Gen 5 plan but again depending on benefits to system and performance.

     

    What kind of speeds are getting now?

       I did the Gen5 upgrade myself.
