I think, Dish TV cud very well stop using AS5 @100e, and lease sufficient no. of TPs on SES8 itself.
But that would render their monoblock, to be of no use.
So, may be not.

They cud add all of them on ses8, but I m not too sure, whether they'll do this, they may want more capacity at their dispense.
