Since dish is always adding channels and then taking something away and not have the capacity to put the rsn's on 24/7, I think it is time to dump Ea and Wa what a waste of bandwith if you ask me. There has to be a better way then to mirror the same channels on 2 different arcs!!! Does Direct tv have 2 arcs?
What would be accomplished? Assuming you could see all the satellites (a huge and wrong assumption) you then need two dishes, and have to get the receiver to see six Sats (Or seven). Also, you would have to get ALL the satellites to be sure you could get all the programming. What dish has planned is what they need, to get the WA arc to Mpeg4, and everyone with Mpeg4 receivers. In addition, end SD channels whenever possible when they are in HD.
Also they rarely have taken away an HD channel because of bandwidth anyway. WFN may be indirectly because of that. And Reelz was never meant to be HD other than for the special event, nor does Reelz have alot of HD. I try not to make judgements on what channnels are or are not important, but Reelz, and to some extent WFN are not anywhere near heavily watched channels.
