Dream Satellite TV Migrated into KoreaSat 5 at 113.0 °E
Dream Satellite TV is available on Koreasat 5 at 113. 0 °E too, beside ABS 5 (Agila 2) at 146. 0 °E at present, But Dream satellite signal will be broken off from Agila II 146. 0 °E satellite in Oct 2010, It will mean that some dream TV customers can't continue to watch dream satellite TV channels later, and others need to change the direction of their dishes, then continue to watch it.

Its control station is located at the MPSC Space Center in the Subic Bay Freeport Zone.The spacecraft was launched by the Long March 3B in its first successful flight and currently orbits at 146°E longitude...

Designed, built, and launched by SS/L for Mabuhay Satellite Corporation, Agila 2 features the largest number of active transponders of any satellite in the region.[citation needed] It contains 30 C-band transponders at 27 watts and 24 Ku-band transponders at 110 watts, combinable to 12 high-power 220-watt transponders. Total dc power at End of Life (EOL) will be more than 8200 watts. The combination provides a power-to-mass ratio of 5-to-1, making Mabuhay one of the most efficient satellites in the industry. A single Agila 2 satellite transmits more than 190 channels of high-fidelity digital programming to cable companies and home satellite dishes, along with the capability to handle more than 50,000 simultaneous two-way telephone conversations...
