Does anyone know which satellite will carry the new HD programming? By that I mean of the HD channels that DTV says they have a contract with, 70 or so channels so far. So which channels will be on DTV 10 and which on DTV 11? If DTV10 in up in June, and DTV 11 is up in September, how many of the current say 70 channels can DTV 10 carry?

If anyone knows more about the launch dates, let us know.

Don't expect that new HD stations to appear the day of the launch. The makers of the satellite have to run tests, set it up and make sure everything is working correctly, before they pass ownership over to D*. That process can sometimes take several months after launch.

As far as what is know at this point about future services check the article in my above mentioned post.

Since June is almost here, is there any updates on when the exact launch date is for first of the new HD satellites is going to be?
 
and just in case some of you have forgotten, directv11 will not launch until the first half of 2008 because of the problems earlier this year with sea launch!!
