Damn harshness, is the glass EVER half full for you?

Considering the successes far outweigh the failures, I can't understand why all the wait & see negativity.

No, it never is. Kind of sad, eh?

How long was the period between D10 launching and becoming "live" ?

D11 shouldn't take as long to get going as it will be launched at the Equator. D10 was launched North of the Equator and had to be maneuvered into an Equatorial orbit before it could find its place in the Clarke Belt.

Well, my move has been delayed until April. I sure hope they get it up there and announce Norfolk locals in hd.

Cox in Hampton just announced a slew of HD adds for late Feb, AND The CW in hd.

Lower your criteria ?
Go ahead and launch when there is a possibility of a problem, with all the money that is invested in this stuff, I think that lowering your criteria would be foolish to say the least.

The magic of Lyngsat is that the whole listing is maintained one satellite at a time versus taking all of the other schedules into account. All other accounts show Galaxy 18 following DIRECTV 11 come what may.
