| | | OMG FINALLY!!!
This will make a lot of 110/119/61.5 people happy. It was looking like they might have to force full EA or full WA for HD at the rate the TPs were failing.
I wonder if this means we will get a ruling soon on 148? |

| | About time for this. Perhaps E3 will now take a ride over to 148.

| | I dont think Dish really has any reason to use 148 anymore. It was used mainly for HI & AK but they have spotbeams now that can carry more channels
But if they need to have a sat there "to keep the slot warm" then they probably would

| | | I kinda figured this was coming after the last loss. My prediction is to see them move this puppy over and within a few weeks they'll decide they had another failure and fire up some capacity from this thing.
I saw the coverage map in the PDF but I'm sure Nelson is quickly making up a map for this one too.
FYI...for the folks who haven't read the attachments. Echostar is filing to move this bird over to 61.5 for in-orbit spares. They are stating they will turn all transponders off on this bird except for the tracking and control ones of course. They have requested to have the ability to turn on transponders the moment they are needed without having to file any additional requests. So basically if something fails on E3 they can instantly switch it over to E6. Knowing the health and overheating issues with E3, E6 will take over some of the transponders of E3 within in no time and quite possibly add some of the additional ones that have failed.
They also stated Echostar15 will be launched in the 4th qtr of 2010. Should be a nice fleet by 2011 since E14 is also going up this year. WA will have some very nice birds and EA will have 2 new birds.

| | Nelson is always on top of things...
This is the reason why the HD test channels were moved to the new bird, they wanted to stress test the new bird with active transponders and make sure it could handle things before moving E6 over to 61.5.
