| Updates First off megadeath, you dont have "5" watchable HD stations, Dish network does have a good amount of HD, but I see you are here to just bash a company because its the internet and you can hide behind that. If you are that unhappy about your service please choose another
Now about this article, It needs to be updated as SES president has put out a statement saying they are cofident that they can get the satellite into its orbit. It was off yes, but not by a unmountable amount of space

First you will see Dish network filing a form-8k with the SEC, then read through the thread a bit and you will see the SES presidents comment, so everything looks to be good for now (just delayed, and how long who knows!). |

Grandville, MI | So my question is who pays? Seems silly but I am curious. Is the Russian launch group and or there insurance company liable? |
|
| you would have to have some serious inside contacts and I dont have that. but from everything I am reading, with the satellite in "space" I dont think launch insurance would be good for this, I woudl think they need to work out a deal with the insurance company for lost life and usage (moving the satellite to its orbit will use a good chunk of its fuel and decrease the lifespan. |

More than likely whatever insurance company SES Americom has insured AMC-14 with. It wasn't released into the correct transfer orbit, but by using a sizable amount of the satellites own fuel it may reach it's intended orbit. So it may not be a full payout, if they can manage that. If not they'll probably do a deorbit burn on it and collect the full insurance value.
Dish Net has only leased AMC-14's transponder capacity. So while this will delay their plans, they're not on the hook for the botched launch or satellite.
Here's a story about it over at Spaceflight Now.

I own the service I can say what is true.
Do you have DISH? If not go away.
If so list all the great HD channels you pay $20 a month for.
I admitted it was my mistake, so don't give your so high on the horse speech.
I am stuck for another 12 months with them, yes my fault and I am admitting it but that doesn't change the truth.
