Dish can do 3 True HD per transponder with "decent"(not ideal) results when using movie channels(putting 2 HD video and 1 Movie per Tp.), movie channels with Telecine flags can have wonderful results with 12/13 Mbps bitrate
Showtime and HBO on 110 are averaging 11/12 Mbps and often much less
We need 2 True HD per transponder though
Hokie the GalleryHD channel is 1280x1080i HD-Lite, my eyes tell me this by viewing it, they left the header at 1920x1080i

There are 6. And looking back at the current allocation, that's exactly how they have it setup, 1 movie on a TP and 1 TP with 2

so that may be it

GalleryHD is back to 1280x1080i from its brief stint as 1920x1080i.

This is not promising at all. It looks like we are going to get 15 1280x1080i channels. But that makes no sense. Why only launch 15 instead of 21 if you are going to keep the same format?

Two weeks and two days till CES

Maybe the engineers are sitting there taking bets on how many posts their actions will cause at satguys.

I can almost picture an engineer going "I'm in for $20 that Hokie chimes in on our resolution in under 20 minutes."

I'm going to be pissed as the next person but I think we will see 15 voom channels at 1280x720p come Jan9th. Ya'll can say what you will but I would almost guarantee thats what Dish will do.
