Current "best guess" is summer 2007.

When the new satellites are launched will we need a new dish? Currently have the AT9

Nope the AT9 is the dish you need!

According to this press release DirecTV 10 and 11 are scheduled to launch early 2007. I don't remember reading anything that mentioned the launches are delayed. Hopefully they are still on schedule....

That release was way back in 2004, since then they had updated with more "exact" time frames; the first will be spring 2007 and the other late spring or very early summer 2007.

The new satellites will be done in January, but the launching company will not have an open slot until June.

ANd then 2-3 months of testing before they get turned over.
