Any ideas on what changes lie ahaead for the EA?

I know EA and the 148 sat are unrelated

I think DISH lost their license for the 148 location.

Darn, there goes the idea of having a true Western Arch and all Locals like PBS and CW in HD and all local sub channels on the sat in SD. Could of had an eastern arch, central arch, and a western arch.

Don't give up hope yet. EchoStar 18 goes to 110W in 2015 and if the design duplicates something like EchoStar 16 , there will be lots of extra capacity. Probably will see the design details appear in the next year or so.
