Fox Networks Group Satellite Transponder Realignment on Galaxy 15 and Galaxy 17

Beginning Wednesday, October 24th through December 2018, Fox will be migrating transponder channel assignments on Galaxy 15 and Galaxy 17 for the national networks listed below. As a reminder, Fox requirements for DSR6000 and DSR6401 IRD’s do require four RF connections for both the horizontal and vertical polarities from both the Galaxy 15 and Galaxy 17 satellites. This supports seamless retuning in the background for necessary maintenance and relocation. As such, no channel changes are required by our distribution partners to their existing satellite receivers.
