    the Echostar 61.5 satellite is a dish network satellite... so it can not be received with standard FTA hardware.

    Boy, you dug up an old post to reply to. :-)
    Anyway, he's correct about it being Dishnet, but not quite correct to say that you can't receive it with standard fta hardware. I used the FTA channels on this sat on a couple occasions to figure out where my dish was aiming, particularly when I was playing with that home-made lnbf holder that was offset so much it wasn't clear where I was aimed.
    Anyway, standard FTA hardware WILL receive signals on this sat. Sure, much of it is encrypted, but not everything. Sure, it is CP, but LP feeds will receive many of the transponders, albeit with loss of signal strength. One doesn't say that standard hardware won't work on say AMC3 just because there are some scrambled channels on it.

    I'm looking at the top of the grids and am wondering what the following abbreviations mean:

    SR-FEC, SID-VPID, NID-TID

    I am guessing that SR is symbol rate, and I've seen PID but not VPID.

    Thanks

    Your're right,SR is symbol rate.VPID is for the video,APID is for audio pid and I think the PCR is the 3rd pid and most of the time is the same as VPID.FEC is for forward error correction such as 3/4,1/2,7/8 and numbers like that.SID,NID,and TID,well I really don't know.Hope this helps some.
