My husband and I have come in off the road and we have a HN7000S modem, D3 controller and F1 antenna for sale. We live in Morro Bay, California. We will sell for a nominal amount of money or even give it away, but you have to come pick it up, since it will cost too much to ship. Last time we used it (about 2 years ago) it worked great.
Thanks,
Life is Good... Kim Davis

Well, Don got me thinking and so I did a quick Google and came up with lots
of interesting info ... thanx, Don! :-)
Satmex has estimated that Satmex 5 has sufficient fuel to operate until
February before it must be moved to a graveyard orbit. The replacement,
Satmex 8, may not be in service at the time of Satmex 5's retirement.
A graveyard orbit, also called a supersynchronous orbit, junk orbit or
disposal orbit, is an orbit above the geosynchronous orbit, where spacecraft
are intentionally placed at the end of their operational life. It is a
measure performed in order to lower the probability of collisions with
operational spacecraft and of the generation of additional space debris.
Putting a satellite into a graveyard orbit has been a requirement of the FCC
since 2002, but according to Wikipedia:
While most satellite operators try to perform such a maneuver at the end of
the operational life, only one-third succeed in doing so.
Here's an article with photos of all the dead and still active satellites:

The estimation of a February failure I think was made last fall, and was an extension of earlier estimates. They don't give any estimates currently, but the launch date I noted (March 26th) was from a press release just 10 days ago, and still called for a seamless transition: http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20130214006521/en/Sat%C3%A9lites-Mexicanos-International-Launch-Services-Announce-Satmex
