that will probably resolve itself when our all knowing government finally allows digital to take the place of analog...the signal coming off the satelite will then be fully digital from ground to bird to ground...right now they are converting the analog normal channel to digital, but not HD(if you had outside antenna,you can see difference even on non HD)..feel sure they will replace this then..

If I remember correctly, the satellite got into orbit, but at a much lower altitude than what was intended. They didn't know what to do at first since the satellites useful life was drastically reduced since it will fall out of orbit way before it should. I think they decided to go ahead and put it into use but know they will have to replace it soon.</p>
