My bad, I misread their brochures...Looking at it again, it looks to be only 1 DVR per house, and then Non-DVR HD boxes for the other outlets..So you can watch the DVR from any TV now which is nice, but limited to the capacity of the single DVR for recording (~37hrs)

I dont think that's what he's asking for (yours is more like a remote/thin/dumb client)...He's asking for a Tivo Like solution where two Tivo's are networked together and the Bedroom Tivo can see the content of the Living Room Tivo (similar to a Network Drive) and play it's content locally...

Yeah, but Individual DVRs are cheap with UVerse (and they are HD), so it's cheap/easy to have a HD DVR at each TV that you can do that...and with their MVR solution you can easily playback what's recorded on any DVR at any TV (in HD). With Dish, sure you can hook one DVR to two TVs but that...

Yes, this had an experimental/prototype payload on it called an Active Phased Array, which allows them to shape the transmission beam while on orbit. They'll want to do some testing on it since they've never used it on-orbit before with this type of satellite.

I also gotta laugh that Lockheed forgot to renew their license for their satellite ground station last year ...duh...not good to be operating illegally with a big Antenna like that ;) poor satellite is jinxed

well dont get too excited...Latest TLE from today has it at 48deg, with perigee of 913 Catalog Number Common Name International Designator Comments 32708 AMC-14 2008-011A Element Set Data AMC-14 1 32708U 08011A 08131.07681888 -.00000072 00000-0 00000+0 0 528 2 32708...

I learned long ago not to hold my breath...I would have died long ago waiting for FSNBA-HD to available from dish...(the SF Bay Area RSN)

Here we go again....up down up down...it's just doing pushups :eureka

Don't know about Heaven's above, but Norad still has current TLE's. This ones only a couple hours old and it's still hanging around where it has been Element Set Data AMC-14 1 32708U 08011A 08129.26823948 -.00000056 00000-0 00000+0 0 499 2 32708 046.3894 157.6152 6958314 007.8393...

I'm pretty sure you'll find that C2 was not deorbited the way you are thinking (ie splashed into the ocean). If you look at what Telesat (who runs Anik for Candians) says, they "deorbit" all of their Commsats when they are done with them...But what they are doing is bumping them up above geo...

Before they and anymore nationals they have got to add FSN-Bay Area HD...Sucks watching the Sharks playoffs in SD :(

still flying in the same orbit it has been for several weeks (as of the latest elset from yesterday)

Not trying to stir up a hornets nest...but on the debate about whether the patent ever played a decision in SES declaring it a total loss vs trying to save it (since they didnt 'officially' mention that in their press release...) Look on SES's website now in the news section SES AMERICOM -...

You are right that it's current inclination/orbit it may create a problem for future launches coming out of that same area, but I dont think (could be wrong) that the FAA has any authority over this particular launch since it didnt occur in a Launch vehicle/site/company that the FAA has...

Deorbits are fairly routine and straight forward for LEO (ie Low) Satellites where the controllers have attitude and thruster controllers of the satellite (just gets alot of hype when you have something big, secret and completely uncontrollable)..I've been involved in a few of them years ago for...

HEO actually has 2 definitions, it is used for both highly elliptical orbit and high earth orbit. But in the case of a high earth orbit, that's when the apogee is higher than that of a GSO orbit...which AMC-14 is not...so highly elliptical orbit is the better choice in this case :)

glad my 6 and 8 yr old boys grew out of the type of nah nah fighting that is going on here between a couple of 'adults' ;)

No progress based on the latest data....If you want to picture it on a map look here AMC-14 - Orbit Data Just to show how screwed up it is....If it ever gets into the right position The "View from above orbital plane" will be a perfect circle with the earth exactly in the center, and...

rglore, you're correct..I didnt explain what I meant by apparent speed from the ground well at all. Mr Kepler governs the actual speed and it will vary from low/fast to high/slower in this type of orbit. On the push out, I was just talking about apogee/perigee corrections (that are done at...

They've alreading been moving it around to it's proper orbit...The Rocket always leaves it lower and at a different angle... and the satellite moves itself gradually with it's own thrusters to the proper orbit. All they have to do now is push out the lower part of it's orbit so it's in a...

What do you mean the speed is unrealisticly slow??? (ps..Object A is a just a generic descriptor for a new satellite) When it's at the high point of it's orbit, it's going to "appear" to be moving slower when viewing it from the ground, but that's deceptive...it's moving the same speed as it...

not really...They've raised the high side of the orbit, but that's likely just to give them better visibility and more time to talk to it from their ground stations while they figure out what they want to do with it.
