Sigh... I want to say something bad as a E* fanboy.. but i cant. I wish I had those channels... Charlie.. you SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there you go, i said it!!!

Not to late to switch to dish boys ;0 tons of new sports Hd today over there!!! Hope all goes well getting your basic Hd channels up!!!!!!!! ;0 -E* Fan Boy

I can tell you from experience that the Directv signals stop cold in comparison to dish's on the border. If you are in the South of mexico you will likely need a *HUGE* dish. Where I am, a 12 footer still doesnt bring it all in or keep what it does bring in throughout the entire day.

Yeah.. it's unlikely they will give the competition that sort of an advantage!

Man, some of these D* guys that are so easily sold by the clear propganda of those nonsense D* TV ads should try out life in North Korea or somewhere. They seem to believe everything they hear.... and then defend it as being gospel with their last dying breath ;0 Castro... is that you?!?! What...

Sco Buck, Well this may have changed now, my "magic 8-ball/source" told me 61.5 a long time back for AMC 14 to replace E3. However... it is possible that things have changed now drastically. I too don't see short of a lease how to get two satt's launched in half a year... unless...

Scobuck, E11 is replacing E8 @ 110. I know this 100%. (don't ask how, i just know that to be factual) Rad, Some good points. I haven't read all of the thread yet but I would imagine they are using these two satts temporarily to start phasing to 100% MPEG4? I don't...

whaha.. will fix ;0 Done ;0 Apologies! ;0

Hah.. well man has this thread taken off! :) Rad, so there’s the first two of ten of those satt I showed you; 0 ? Any doubt on the other 8? ;0 Anyways that aside, I see that soooo many D* fans go on about how dish won’t have this sport and dish won’t have that sport and they are cheap this...

Hah.. Yeah the D* marketers certainly talk a pack of #^# ;0 I must say I have never seen a company that advertises the capacity they will have and not the end product! :) I'm sure that when the new bird goes up that they will add much needed HD.. but honestly, this is hardly a trump card over E*...

Hah .. yep ;0 You can only do 40 degrees max of arc.. more isnt possible. You would need more than one dish most certainly;0 Wives will likely boycott this from ever being allowed ;0 Hey, I dont claim to say its the best idea.. I'm only bringing to light info I came across about their...

Rad, You seem unwilling to accept this as even a possibility ;0 Clearly E* is taking things seriously and the application has been in since Oct 2006. I would love to see if i could find a follow up article on it as it intrigues me. That's some friggin network of satellites in theory. Why...

Echo 13 & 14 are both already under construction. 14 = http://files.shareholder.com/downloads/LOR/122179631x0x69416/6d0c61ea-2a01-4e0a-a6e2-32523ad4eaa1/226983.pdf 13 = http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/content/?cid=5027 (Talk about it and how it may be called CMBstar due to buying it off of...

"The new DBS system proposed by EchoStar will consist of ten state-of-the-art satellites, with one satellite to be located at each of the 61.9º W.L., 67º W.L., 77.2º W.L., 86.3º W.L., 110° W.L., 114.5° W.L., 119° W.L., 124º W.L., 128.6º W.L., and 147.6º W.L. nominal orbital locations. The...

This is based on the 4.5 degree spacing, to accomplish that i believe that the polarity is the reverse of the ones that are 9 degrees apart to avoid electronic confusion across channels with the closer spacing. Btw this was in fact on the front page of "the other site" quite a while back...

Ah hah. ok D* punks... time to chew on this.. You tell me who will have capacity when all is said and done ;0 Not D* thats for sure!!!!!!! I copied this from a posting on "the other forum" Dish has applied to the FCC for 10 new DBS Expansion Band satellites at 61.9, 67, 77.2, 86.3, 110...

oh man did i spawn a world of hell. For all those folks too lazy to do their reading. Recently (well i cant find the fcc filing off hand but it is in this forum elsewhere) Dish bought up all of the new expansion slots (reverse polarity or something i think.. not sure) but 10 slots went on...

D* has been asleep at the wheel for a while as they ran out of space with no real plans for decent DBS capacity. They may be buying up sports fans gallore, but they missed out big time on buying up DBS slots! E* but just about every slot out there! ;0

I doubt HIGHHHHHHHHHHHLY that you will get decent signal down that far. The footprint is super accurate these days on D*. -B

As said above, check around. If you lost it try a bigger dish. IF it has gone spot though, you are most definitely way too far out to get that. As an FYI the D* birds have HIGHLY accurate footprints. -B

hah ;0 This thread makes me laugh ;0 As scott said with his "bingo" comment... If they cant even add ONE more HD channel 24/7 does not not show you how sad of a situation DirecTV is in bandwidth wise? I mean really guys. Let's use some common sense here ;0 With the failed launch, DirecTV is...

it's all hopes and dreams for DirecTV at this point ;0 150 channels don't even exist and if they did the one company who can do this the easiest (better mpeg4 encoders, and a WHACK load of free space on their satts (121,105 and the 10 new slots they got permission for based on the reverse...

Does anyone have any info on when they will light this bird up for improoved signal etc? It is up there sitting idle still which seems odd... ANYONE? Do you know a date or why it still has yet to be lit up?

most likely just them aligning the new bird guys.. hey where do you guys live that are losing the signal? Inside or outside the US? If it is on the fringe of the beam DirecTV 8 might have a different footprint and you may no longer be "AS" in it as you were, hence maybe a bigger dish is...
