Hi RM, as far as I know, it is truly a spare. DBS1 (101.2 degree slot)transmits the even-numbered channels with LHCP (left-hand circular polarization), and DBS2 (100.8 slot) transmits the odd channels with RHCP. DBS3 occupies the 100.8 slot also. DirecTV also holds a license for 27 transponders in the 157 degree (partial-CONUS) slot, but no satellite in orbit. For Echostar, Echostar 1 & 2 at 119, and Echostar 3 at 61.5, as you said. Echostar 1 was to be relocated to the 148 slot, and Echostar 4 was to replace it in the 119 slot. They also have 11 transponders at 61.5 thru the DBSC acquisition and 32 at 175 degrees (10 of their own plus 11 thru DSBC acquisition plus 11 thru DirectSat acquisition. They also hold 1 license for 166 degrees, but no satellite in orbit. As far as multiple spot beams, I don't believe so, being in the high-power BSS (Broadcast Satellite Services) portion of the Ku band (and therefore "true" DBS per the FCC definition)), I believe it's a "single high powered blast" but can't positively confirm that. dh
