:You will see the death of Dish Network begin in about six months. They can't do anything right.
Congrats to Directv on a job well done.
How quickly people forget. Wasn't it just last year (or was it 2006?) when Sea Launch had a couple of launch failures that left the Spaceway satellites grounded for months and months?
God forbid we go a little farther back and note that DirecTV has had a few of them fail to reach orbit themselves.
Not that I think Dish is worth anything as a TV provider, but that's for reasons unrelated to satellites or their launch.
The problem is that right now is a transistion period with people buying HD sets. When people spend the money on an HD set they will want a provider that offers the most HD.
