The major networks have filed an emergency motion because they think that Echostar's deal with NPS to lease satellite capacity on Echostar 7 at 119 is a deal to keep distant networks on DISH. See attached court filing below.
I guess it would work similar to the Sky Angel deal. You are technically doing business with another company but you use your regular DISH equipment to view the programming. NPS sells you distant networks but you view them on your DISH receivers. Very clever if it is correct.
