The echostar bird at 129W is a circular polarity bird and requires a different LNB from the linear IntelSat bird. You'll see only one satellite in this case.

If you were to scan 110W with a circular LNB, you'd get both satellites at that location.

Those particular numbers to the right indicate the date of the latest information for that satellite submitted to Lyngsat.
