The two sats transmit at different frequencies. You'll get whichever sat your system is tuned to. The echo sat is also circular, which uses a different LNBF to do right.
Interesting. I didn't realize they had move Echo 5 to 129. Previously, Lyngsat listed IA7/Echo 9, however Echo9 was actually the same sat as IA7, and Echo 9 was a Linear sat. You'll notice that the Ku freqs between 11700 and 12200 (ie the old Echo 9, really IA7) are linear, H/V while those above 12200 (ie Echo 5) are circular, ie R/L.
EDIT: Sorry, ignore my Echo9 comment above, I was confusing the 129 position with the 121 position in my next to last sentence above, where I talked about IA7/Echo9. ie Echo9 and IA13 are STILL together at 121 which is what I was referring to. Not sure how I mis-read that.
