As seen from the Start date column, all new StarFire are currenlty broadcasting on the new satellite / frequency
combination. The Stop date is the date StarFire will stop broadcasting the current satellite / frequency combination.
During the time between the start and stop dates both the new and old frequencies/satellites will be active.
The table below provides a quick overview of affected products and a brief summary of the impact to the receiver
model by software version number. The table is divided into 2-categories: 3-Satellite StarFire constellation base
for those customers who have not updated software recently and 6-Satellite StarFire constellation base for those
customers who have updated software recently.
