Larger dish???

[truqui]

Sorry..I'm sure this has been discussed but I can't find it...
Are we going to get a replacement/larger dish from Voom in the near/far future?
Why? What for? More HD channels?

Thanks in advance for enlightening me on this issue!

Yes, they have another satellite which they have leased space on, so they will need a new dish to pick up programming from both satellites. With the MPEG4/WM9 & the new sat capacity, they are supposed to have room for about 96 HD channels and about 200 SD channels from what I hear. Don't know when they will be swapping them out.
