It's not the backup processor that is the problem, it's B1 wandering all 
over the sky as they try and save enough fuel to keep it at least semi 
operational until D1 gets into service.

D1 is currently doing initial testing, nothing you can see on it your tv 
but there are some carriers there. It's currently sitting at 164E.

They have been having problems with transmissions from D1 causing 
problems for SelectTV on Pas8 (166E), so it's either putting out one 
hell of a signal or just happens to have a decent side lobe on that side.

:D
