ADVERTS 1
Wow, VERY cool.........Thanks, Digiblur and Nelson61! Looks like this one will be a winner for sure (he says, drooling).
(You guys in Wichita, check out beam B9, and you'll be drooling, too! Looks like HD Locals for you are not that far off.)

Proud Staff MemberDon't you mean 119?
I don't think they'll run all the beams either as they'll have to cut down on the number of CONUS transponders there.

Nice work, all.
Check out A3, Dish seems to "love" Washington, Oregon, and Idaho.
Although I am saddened that only 1 beam with 2 TPs seems to cover my neck of the woods in entirety.
I'm wondering if much of this is to back up E10. E7 currently uses 5 TPs for spots (1,3,5,7,9). What I read above is that this uses 12 TPs (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,13). So there are 7 more TPs for spot on E14 compared to E7. It looks like TPs 1-5 are reused 11-15 times, while TPs 6-13 only 6-9 times. Perhaps 1-5 will correspond the current 5 TPs, while the latter back up E10 (with E11 being able to take the CONUS load E14 would have to liberate). I haven't yet checked the geography of that theory.
If relations were ever normalized, I doubt Dish would want to wait for a sat launch to be able to provide services. Originally Posted by TravelFan1 AT250, 622 and 612

Maybe a dumb question, but why is it beam A and beam B... can they only use one set at a time or was it just for numbering purposes?

Proud Staff MemberIt is just the numbering process they used. And the bird is not designed to use all the transponders on all the beams. It's designed with flexibility in mind though. Originally Posted by alebowgm
