Good reason to keep my Dish pointed at 61.5 after I get my SuperDish. :)

I wonder if the launch will be on NASA TV?

I am glad that this service is launching. One thing I wonder is if they will be shooting themselves in the foot or at least a little bit by their own subscribers going from CableVision Cable to their satellite service. They probably do not serve enough regions to hurt themselves that bad.

Although it may seem like satellite has penetrated almost completely most people still have cable and there are going to be many many more local markets launching in which should help new satellite customer growth a good bit and keep it going.
