From what I've seen, it looks like a complete listing of ALL dishnet sats.
There's a LOT of information there. I was looking at it in TSREADER, and did an EXPORT to an HTML file. It's a HUGE file, mainly because of the EIT, which seems to be the programming info that goes into the GUIDE. I'm in the process of uploading that file to the web now, but I'm working from a dialup, so that takes a while, so I'm typing slow while it uploads. It's really interesting to see all the info they put in their service. A regular sat channel, like one of the PBS channels, etc, don't have near that much info.
And yes, they did move a lot of the channels off AMC15, and also several off the Echo9 sat. My neighbors subscribe to Dishnet, and they were on vacation when the move occurred, and they couldn't get their local channels for a while, until the receiver got updated to the info that those channels were no longer on Echo9.
OK, computer just beeped at me.... file is at:

This was from 11740 on AMC15. The first thing you see is the PAT, then the PMT and CAT, and after that comes the NIT . Later in the file, comes the EIT, which has LOTS of info. But the point is, it seems to me like they have info there on ALL the dishnet satellites, not just the one being downlinked.
