I was going to say I didn't expect another satellite launch, but this iEchostar and not DISH . I doubt they will put any more satellites up for DISH.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

As bad as hughesnet is something else has to be funding this satellite. No way imo they are doing it on their own.

Dish isn't even using all the ones that they have. EchoStar XXIII has been sitting in the 110W slot for months now not being used. I've been hoping that Dish would drop 129W and start using the newer EchoStar XXIII at 110W to make the western arc a two slot set-up the same as the 61.5/72.7 eastern arc deal. That would help me tremendously since I can't pick up 129!

Different sats for different purposes.
