It'd be nice if they'd post when it's coming.

Sounds like next week sometime from a posting we've received in the D10 launch thread.
Cheers,

Perhaps Harsh meant three months? March 4 + 3 months = June 4. With a launch of July 7.
Cheers,
Tom

It seems that the only things that happen "soon" at DIRECTV are alpha releases of HR20 software. The rest of "soon" is at least a month away... sometimes five or six or eighteen. |

Cool.
But the first Blog I've seen that you can't subscribe to in a RSS news catcher. Strange.

The thread title ought to be changed now that the blog is now active and no longer coming soon. Maybe the thread title can be continually updated to contain the date of the last update.

Considering the mods are the only ones that can change the title, after the first post is made.... I am not sure we can keep up with the "last update"..
But I will remove the Coming Soon on it though. |

It looks like they're not actually using blogging software, it's just a regular page that they update. That would explain the lack of an RSS feed.

Interesting that one of the photos (on the plane) mentions a "Pinkerton" team. Does that mean that they schlep in their own security? If so, that seems kinda sad to me.

We have readers in Baikonur
I posted a comment on the ILSLaunch blog and received a following very nice response with some interesting bits excerpted:
Quote:
...
It has been fun for us follow along with the DTV-10 fan conversations on
dbstalk.com as well.
You can let the the thread know that we will be updating the blog to a
"real" blog format, with RSS feeds/subscriptions on the next launch
campaign. In the meantime, they can try "subscribing" to web page
updates by using this tool: http://page2rss.com/.

Thanks for your suggestions, Lori. I'm sure many will try. 
Cheers,
Tom

Why would that seem kind of sad? I would imagine the company would absolutely send a security detail for this kind of team. It's a bunch of highly specialized employees travelling in a foreign country. Russia is a pretty safe country (and the people are really friendly), but I can understand the company doing this. Many (most?) of the police are corrupt, this would ensure that they don't get caught up in anything untowards

Actually, they flew in to Moscow (in Russia) but Baikonur is in Kazakhstan (e.g., not Russia). What's sad is that the world's busiest space port is in a quasi-Third World country with internal security forces that cannot be counted on to keep one of their biggest sources of foreign investment safe. That just strikes me as a sad state of affairs.

I love the quote that is has 32 national beams and 55 spot beams. Confirms that D10 and D11 are needed for more HD locals.

BTW, the 32 TWTA's are doubled for each national beam, giving 16 actual transmitted national transponders. The FCC request only give 14 nationals, IIRC, so this this an intriguing statement in the article.
Cheers,
Tom
