Can E* use the Bird and 105 today to add more HD LILs?

[Stephen J]

If E* wanted to add more HD LILs before the start of this falls new TV season, and the NFL season, could they use all of the unused space on the bird and 105?
If not, is their any current room to add more HD LILs without added a new sat or moving an existing one, E6, to a new spot. Thanks.

I think that they are moving away from the superdish as an option. If so they will either end the lease they have for 105 or use it for other purposes other than direct to residential customers as they use it today. They could use 148 and 61.5 since they are moving all international channels to 118.5 sat. AT 6 hd channels per transponder in mpeg 4 they could afford to put the big 4 networks in hd and the Pbs and Cw in each market too if they wanted to all on one transponder.
