*There is a VERY LIMITED service area available for these channels based on zip code. The Dish Web site has the details when you click on any of the new channels. I don't know if this is because of SuperDish availability or because of the footprint of the satellite. My guess is the availability of the SuperDish.

Here are the new channels available:
CHINESE (Channels 682-688):
ET Drama,
ET China,
ET Global,
ET News,
JET International
Yoyo TV

These channels are only available as a package for $21.99/mo or $241.89 annual. The other 4 Chinese channels are in a separate packages and are mirrored on adjacent channels. They are also still available at 61.5° and 148°

SOUTH ASIAN (Channels 799 & 800):
Gemini (Telugu)
and Surya TV (Malayalam)
These channels are available A La Carte ONLY at $14.99/mo each

See ya

Update: I have received info from 3 separate sources that the limited availability is strictly due to the shortage of the 121° SuperDish. As the SuperDish becomes more available the areas will expand
