I read this report and its unbelievable....Where in the hell are they getting the capabilities to add so many HD channels? For the past six months they keep adding channels and they have no new birds in the sky. I kept thinking compression but there is no way they can compress this much....

As a matter of fact, DISH Network has substantially more satellite bandwidth than DIRECTV and it has been that way for some time. The advantage that DIRECTV has is that they've got most of it available on one large dish.
That one large dish being the main dish that's used for the majority of subscribers. The bandwidth available on the "main dish" for DirecTV is much higher than the "main dish" for DISH? Correct?
