I recently spoke with one of their technical persons regarding getting telecast of cricket matches and he mentioned I would need a NEW dish (over and above my 3LNB current Oval dish) and the channel numbers for cricket coverage is 2021 and 2022 (in thousands)! So obviously new dishes are already requred especially to carry the new asian programming which Sky (is this parent company now?) owns in Asia. I am about to order the new dish also and will have more info later.
DirecTV HD question?
I am thinking of buying a new HD rear projection television. If I did this I would probably want to upgrade my DirecTV service to include HD programming which would require me to change my round dish to an oval dish with a triple LNB. However, I recently heard that DirecTV is planning to launch a couple of new satellites in the next year or so. Would this mean that the triple LNB oval dish would have to come down in a year or so and be replaced with some new bigger dish with the capability of receiving signals from four or five different satellites?
