After a few days' delay due to high winds and strong ocean currents, we have resumed our countdown, with liftoff now planned for Tuesday, Nov 20, at 7:29 am PST (15:29 GMT). We will begin our live launch coverage at 7:15am (15:15 GMT).

Sorry for the noobish question, but does this mean more HD channels on the way from DTV?
Maybe time for DTV to break the 100+ HD channels mark

This bird they are referring to, Thuraya 3, is in front of DirecTV 11 on the launch schedule (its on the pad now), and any time it is delayed it pushes back everyone behind it being launched by this company; and YES, DirecTV 11 will mean more channels.

I wouldn't put a TBD ahead of the information on the Sea Launch website. The duration from launch to go live should be less than it was with DIRECTV 10 as DIRECTV 11 doesn't have to establish an equatorial orbit.

It appears that the ship will be returning to port w/o a launch....any Boeing people on here hear anything? There is normally a 60 day turn-around time between launches.
