Even longer wait for us Dish guys.

This will cause big delay to Knoxville HD locals probably mid year or later for HD local expansion to continue.

Just hope D11 goes up successfully,Thuraya 3 is bad luck should be called Thuraya 13.

If this is gonna delay Norfolk locals, I may have to consider other options in March

somehow, i don't think dtv-11 goes up, even in late march. i'm betting april at the earliest.

While we all know (pretty well by now for sure) that all of these launches are indeed subject to postponements, they also do go have a working schedule - and DirecTV 11 is certainly and currently on the schedule for March -

many places confirm this (including NASA itself)

These guys had D10 correct as well.

i hope it is launched in march. but thuraya 3 is already almost 2 months late and it hasn't been launched yet. my gut says even if it does successfully go up in mid-january, that we shouldn't feel comfortable with d11 going up two months later.
