The satellite is strategically placed directly between the Dish and Direct birds and the WildBlue Dish has a very advanced reflector that allows specific signals to either reflect or go through it. This way an additional DBS LNB could be added to the WildBlue Dish. Do not expect to see a one dish solution any time soon.</p> WildBlue planned for this Echostar DirecTV deal from the beginning.

WildBlue forum users say Skype worked acceptably until May 15th (right after the announcement of the 1st AT&T deal).
