Just got this in my mailbox a few minutes ago.

Channel Orbital Moves - Effective August 29, 2007

In order to offer a more complete AT100 programming package from the 119° orbital location, we will be moving TV Guide, Daystar, and HRTV from the 110° orbital location to 119°, effective August 29, 2007. In this way, customers in Alaska and Hawaii subscribing to AT100 would be able to receive more channels carried in this package. Additionally, Encore Westerns, Lifetime Movie Network, and G4 will be moving from the 119° orbital location to the 110° orbital location, effective August 29, 2007.

This just sounds like a move to give channels that pay E* additional distribution.

I'm pretty sure E* pays TV Guide, not the other way around.

Or are they gonna do a in car service like DirecTV where you can only get a feed from one satellite?
