Dish Granted Permission for 86.5 slot

[Tom Bombadil]

The SuperDish was larger than the D1000 because it had to pick up lower strength signals off of the 105 or 121 birds.

But even given that, and assuming that 86.5 would have full power signals, I would think the resultant dish would still have to be noticably larger than a SuperDish. But I'm not an expert on these things.

Frankly, I would be surprised if E* attempted to pick up 86.5 / 110 / 119 with a single dish. This is why I was disappointed to hear that E* might be getting the 86.5 slot instead of 96.5 or 105.5 or 114.5. Any of these could have been more easily paired with 110/119 in a single dish solution.

We haven't heard the final decisions yet, so it remains to be seen if they get only 86.5 space and if they plan to use it for the Dish packages.
