Re: Echostar 9 at 121 W or Telstar 13

99% of the channels are encrypted. This bird is linear Ku, meaning you need a large dish (30 or 36") with a linear ku lnbf to get the signal from it. If you see some of them FTA, don't expect them to last long. In my opinion, it's not worth your time to setup a dish for this bird.
If you still want to see this sat, you can get the azimuth/elevation for your location at:
