IMHO, I think Dish has a plan--as jSheridan said--for this sat to be used as a primary, but I don't think Charlie is ready to pop the plan just yet. Considering how AWFUL the HD PQ is on the WA and the plenty of space to, at the very least, really make the HD look stellar PQ, I have to think that Dish is holding onto that bandwidth for something pretty big. Dish as #3, now #4, has always been secretive in its plans. Scott may know, but I'm sure he is not a tellin'. The crappy HD PQ on the WA with bandwidth gains makes NO SENSE--unless something else is needed for that bandwidth. We may find out at CES in January 2017, if Dish is ready by then. All IMHO, of course. Just trying to make sense of the most capable bird in the wings and the never ending crappy HD PQ ever since the full 8PSK implementation on the WA.
