EchoStar IV, more Divi encoders sold............................

EchoStar IV will be launched to the 119 degrees west orbital slot, from which the company's core Dish Network service is delivered. The new satellite will replace EchoStar I, which is to be repositioned to a slot at 148 degrees west to service the Western half of the country.

Because it's a higher-power satellite, the new bird at 119 will allow EchoStar to add more channels to its core Dish Network lineup. The new satellite is expected to be operational by August. EchoStar IV was designed to make more efficient use of the 21 transponders that the company is licensed to use at 119.
