In the last day or two I no longer to type in a 5 digit channel number such as a regional sports network e.g. 41221. Instead the HWS goes to the nearest channel to 4122. This also happens on my Joey. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm looking to switch my Mom over from Dish to DirecTV because the DirecTV programming packages fit her needs better. I do have a few questions about receivers. She doesn't need or want a DVR but she has two HD TVs. She doesn't need to watch two different programs on each TV at the same time...

Came across this article in Space News. It appears that Dish will be using Sea Launch for launch services in the next few years so perhaps E-16 will ride on a Zenit-3SL rocket. Russias Energia To Own 95 Percent of New Sea Launch | SpaceNews.com

Dish has applied to the FCC to suspend operations at 148 W. Not suprising because of the E-5 propellant issue but Dish also noted that it wants to move E-8 to 148 W in 2011 after QuetzSat-1 is launched to 77W in August of 2011. I know this is almost two years from now but this also indicates...

Here is the website address of Dish's FCC filing on E-14 that will be launched to the 119 W slot: FCC INTERNATIONAL BUREAU

Dish has applied to the FCC to move the E-1 satellite to 77 W. Here is the FCC website address: http://licensing.fcc.gov/ibfsweb/ib....nt_key=-159984

Have not had a chance to read it all but here is the FCC website address on the recent Dish filings for the Ciel-2 satellite: FCC INTERNATIONAL BUREAU

Dish has applied to the FCC to move the E-6 satellite to 72.7 W and use the 16 odd TPs that DirecTV is not using there. Here is the FCC website address: http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/servlet/ib.page.FetchAttachment?attachment_key=-147616

As has been posted in various threads, the next two satellites for Dish, AMC-14 and E-11 will have the capability to provide higher powered signals. It has been speculated in various posts that this will allow Dish to reduce the error correction resulting in an increase in the useable bandwidth...

Dish recently filed with the FCC to launch the AMC-14 satellite to 61.5 W. Here is the FCC website address: http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/servlet/ib.page.FetchAttachment?attachment_key=-140501

Post title says it all. Looks like Dish will have room for more HD. Now they just need to replace E-3. Perhaps it will be worth Dish moving E-6 from 110 to there at least temporarily. Here is the FCC website address: http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/servlet/ib....ent_key=595860

The FCC has approved the partial use of the E-10 satellite at 110 W. The FCC has deferred approval for use of the 3 TP frequencies from E-10 that could cause interference with the DirecTV satellite i.e., 27, 29 and 31. This could be a big problem for Dish's plans because there are at least 7...

Not much to add to the title of thread except here is the FCC website address link. So E-10 is a go for February 8th...

Why in the description of this subforum does it refer to the 942 as upcoming???

Dish has filed with the FCC an application to slightly modify the design of E-10. I have not had a chance to read all the documents associated with this filing but at initial glance E-10 will have 49 downlink Spots. If I am interpreting the data properly it appears that E-10 will use 10 TP...

The vastly defensively over-rated Derek Jeter's wild throw on a routine double play causes Jason Giambi to re-injury his back. I hope this hurts the Yankee's playoff chances and maybe some folks eyes will be opened and the Pretty Faced Jeter's defensive skills finally will be fairly judged. I...

Yes, AMC-15 is finally at 105 W according to LyngSat. I look forward to folks posting their new signal strength numbers in the next few days. It would also be interesting to see how many channels Dish loads on each TP since these are wide frequency band TPs and what error correction rate they use.

Don't know if anything new will be reported but if you can, you may want to watch.

The FCC released a Public Notice today 2/25, seeking comment on the sale of Rainbow-1 satellite and licenses to Dish (Echostar). It looks like the comment cycle ends on April 18th. My guess would be the FCC would make a ruling on this within 90 days which would put it no later than July 18th...

Dish has filed an application with the FCC to move Echostar-5 (E-5) to 129 W, a Canadian DBS slot. E-5 is currently at 119 W but not being used for programming. It appears that Dish has had an agreement for this move in place since May 14, 2004 with Ciel, a Canadian satellite company. Ciel has...

Questions about the capabilities of the Rainbow-1 (R-1) satellite have been raised especially related to spotbeam transponder (TP) useage. It has been posted elsewhere that R-1 has as many as 130 TPs but the question is how many can be used at one time specifically in spotbeam mode. I believe...

With the news that Voom apparently will stay in business assure that Dish will gain FCC approval of their acquisition of Voom's DBS frequencies at 61.5 W? Certainly the issue of competition is at least severely weaken if not eliminated as an argument against Dish's acquisition. Another question...
