Is this the last of HD channels we get for some time?

Its like almost the middle of June and weren't we supose to get a bunch of newer channels like Comedy Central and even GAC?

I don't remember seeing anything other than rumors so although I would love more adds; the fact that they are concentrating on the new satellite launch, test and orbital park is fine by me.

The DirecTV10 satellite is pretty well maxed out at the moment. DirecTV11 will have capacity for another 75 national HD channels and is expected to start broadcasting in August.

If your AT-9/AU-9 dish is properly aligned you won't need to.

 

[charper1]

No, the new satellite will be parked into an orbital slot already "seen" by the 5LNB dishes.

Where have they said that?

Dont get me wrong there are a few channels I would like in HD, but there isnt much left out there that we dont have.

Amazing how spoiled we got during the main push(not directed at the OP)

The 3 Disney owned HD channels were added in late March/early April, so it hasn't been 5 months.

The new D11 satellite should be online in a few weeks, then they should starting adding some more HD. Patience.
