I wrote to Customer Care on email, and asked them: "Will you add any HD channels soon?" For the first time ever I got a fairly positive response from CC. Here it is:
Well, thats bcoz the new satellite SES8 is going to launch in just abt 2 months @95E, with a capacity of 33 Ku band TPs.
And, it has already been decided that dishTV will use SES8 for its ops. :k

SES-9 satellite scheduled for launch in 2015 will be positioned at the orbital slot of 108.2 degrees East and provide incremental as well as replacement capacity to this well established SES slot over Asia, where it will be co-located with the existing SES-7 satellite. The satellite will expand SES’ capabilities to provide DTH broadcasting and other communications services in Northeast Asia, South Asia and Indonesia, as well as maritime communications for vessels in the Indian Ocean.

If Dish truHD channels move out of Asiasat5, all the current subscribers who are located in the central & western parts of Saudi Arabia (there are many) will stop receiving their channels forever as SES8 beams only to south asia (like all other Indian DTH providers do).
This is a very bad news for those currently enjoying the HD channels, in that area !
DishTV: you are going to lose a lot of subscribers if you move your HD satellite !
