Ok dish it is now time to go after directv. Looks like they mybe hurting after the launch pad went up in smoke.Lets get RSN HD, more HD channel about 30 will do it. I dont see 100 HD channel out there. And do not lose MLB package.:

Yeah well got a E-mail back from Dish which said this below.



""Dish plans to convert the RSN’s as well as home sports stations very soon; although, I don’t have an exact time line of when that will be completed.""

E* may well be hurt as much as D* from this "anomaly."

The E* fan boys seem to forget that E XI is also scheduled for SeaLaunch this year, even before D11 was if not mistaken.

I think it will hurt D* than E*, may slow down E* but there Satellite was not on then launch pad. 2nd they have plenty of time to find another launch company.

The D* bird wasn't and isn't out on any launch pad. And the lost bird was European/Asian.

Both scheduled launches are off a ways, but moving to another launcher is time consuming. Delays are likely for all.

True, but wasn't E XI to be an in orbit backup?

 

[navychop]

Yes, but there is some speculation that it will be put into service relatively soon after launch. Errr- guess I'd better say, "successful launch."

Yup, just a backup for now when ever the thing launches now.

That's what I thought I heard. But then when you get into the pi**ing match about how E* can match D*'s plans for 150 national HD channel capacity then some of the E* folks throw up E XI for adding capacity.
