Dish Network’s New Satellite ‘EchoStar XI’ Successfully Reaches The Orbit

Dish Network has successfully launched a new satellite ‘EchoStar XI’ last week to expand its high-definition programming. Dish Network’s satellite launch AMC-14, during March 2008 failed to reach the desired orbit.  Even though DISH Network started delivering new HD channels and recently announced that they will launch 17 new HD channels on August 1 to be the first Satellite TV provider to reach 100 HD channels. Dish Network’s competitor DirecTV already has a satellite DIRECTV 11 in the orbit and expected to deliver new HD channels starting from September. Dish Network also have plans to launch another satellite before the end of the year.
