Just to clarify, the 18 months commitment will go away for every one or this is only for new costumers?"
These new offers are for new customers. Knowing E*, I don't think you can't get out of the 18 months commitment that easy.

Given the opportunity to get out without penalty ...... I'll be gone in a second. It has to do with no HD locals. OTA HD works OK here but the minute we a have wind or rain the signal breaks up a lot. Do not take me wrong a like E* I just want my locals on HD.

Here is what is strange. Are the National HD channels going to be on the two sats too? Or are we going to have 1 sat for that and one for this other stuff.

Bingo! My question exactly. I'm leaving the second dish up anyway.

I would hope that they don't intend on keeping hd national channels on 61.5 and 129 if they are saying that you can get everything with a simple 18 " dish. Maybe Scott left that out about national hd channels by mistake. IF only Scott could come back and clarify that question we could all get some satifaction.
Scott,where are the national hd channels moving to- if at all?

With two new sats as all Mpeg4, could you not have everything on those two? Thats the way I took it.

Depends upon the satellites and the transponder frequencies they have licensed.

1) How many transponders per satellite,
2) How many spotbeams,
3) How many frequencies per spotbeam,
4) How many transponders to allocate to CONUS,
5) How many transponders to allocate to LIL.
6) How many channels per transponder.

I think there is chance that you can get everything on the MPEG4 Birds due to MPEG4 use less bandwidth. This is part of the reason some of the new HD Channels locals and National have been using MPEG4. But until everyone gets on MPEG4 they will half to support different setups until everyone makes the change. If you have MPEG4 receivers and once the 2 new MPEG4 Birds are up you should be able to get all of your programing just due to the fact MPEG4 is better. This is why folks on MPEG2 receivers like the 811 and 942 need to upgrade at some point and time. Every carrier will be going MPEG4 so at some point time everyone will have MPEG4. I think Scott showed some where on the boards where more channels could be carried on transponders when they were at MPEG4. I think it went from like 4 channels on one TP to Six channels on a TP but I could be mistaken.
