DirecTV 11 satellite launch rescheduled for March 19th? {Engadget HD}
Mar 18th 2008 1:01AM LOL But it's not like Comcast doesn't use satellites:
Titan Earth Station
This unique satellite facility is the primary transmission plant for all of Comcast Media Center's distribution power. Located southwest of Denver on the 105th meridian for optimal visibility into both the Atlantic and Pacific Operating Regions, Titan can reach North America, Europe, Asia, Africa and South America from one building. It's one of the largest, most technically advanced satellite facilities in the world offering KU band, KA band, C band and DBS formats, as well as fiber connectivity.
And also Directv isn't doing the launch they hired out to do all that for them. So I guess I wouldn't see them having a problem launching any satellite.
I wonder what would of happened if Directv didn't change there mind and kept the spaceway program for 2 way internet instead of HD channels. Would their stocks gone up as much in that case?
