[garys]

scranton and hazelton pa?????? wheres the harrisburg? gettin closer?

Hazelton is Scranton's Fox station.

[kurts]

:) Does this mean Hazleton / Scranton is close to being on For HD locals

[James Long]

Closer than they were yesterday ... but uplinks do not always turn in to released channels.

[racermurray]

Closer than they were yesterday ... but uplinks do not always turn in to released channels.

Is that why we are still waiting for the Buffalo HD locals even though they were uplinked on April 24th :confused:

Murray

[James Long]

Why is hard to say ... could be technical, could be timing, could be a local station holding out on permission. The only thing an unavailable uplink demonstrates is interest.

A month isn't a long time unless it is your locals. Indianapolis was uplinked for much longer and then pulled down, my locals were uplinked April 2nd. Perhaps I should be asking you to wait your turn? :)

Local HDs in any particular market will be made available when they are made available. No local HD can be made available before it is uplinked ... so do read an unavailable uplink as a step in the right direction. Just don't be surprised if it takes a while for the next step.

[racermurray]

Thanks , that's a fair answer.

My question arose because the DISH web site shows Buffalo being activated this month.

[HobbyTalk]

Arrrg..... what happened to the Grand Rapids DMA that they announced for May ?!?!?!?

[JohnH]

Well, the calender says there is one more Uplink Activity window(Wednesday) in May. :)
Maybe negotiations will go well and technical issues will be favorable.

[Taco Lover]

What would those 20 MPEG4 HD Temp channels mean?

[JohnH]

What would those 20 MPEG4 HD Temp channels mean?
More HD someday.

[FTA Michael]

Hmm. What used to be on some of those channel numbers? Could it be?

[Richard King]

It sure would be nice if Dish and Voom worked out their differences so that we could have everyone's favorite HD channels (Voom) back again. ;)

[grog]

I really hope you are right..
But for some reason I am expecting more Fishing channels. !rolling

[Taco Lover]

Soon?

:lol:

[MSoper72]

Its possibly the return of the voom channels but just have to wait and see for sure.

[grooves12]

Its possibly the return of the voom channels but just have to wait and see for sure.

Honestly I'm hoping Dish just brings back the ones that had a couple extra days of life and forces Voom to consolidate some of the programming as many of us keep saying is what should be done a long time ago.

Personally, I really don't care as I downgraded to Essentials long ago because Voom's programming went downhill and it wasn't worth it anymore. So, if that bandwidth is needed for something else, I would prefer they stay gone and give me something that is currently SD only. (FX, Spike, Speed)??

[phrelin]

Its possibly the return of the voom channels but just have to wait and see for sure.The appears to be 20 channels there - wow, 5 additional VOOM channels.:rolleyes:

[Ray_Clum]

My guess would be the company that owns Nickelodeon, MTV, VH1, etc. (the company name escapes me right now) and/or Tribune.

[JohnH]

VIACOM.

We still don't have FOX, Tribune or VIACOM properties, not to mention the HBO/Cinemax suite, Starz! suite and Encore.


BTW: SPEED is doing NASCAR in HD since the beginning of the season, but much of their programming has Sponsored by DIRECTV.

[Raymie]

We do have 5-Star Max HD, but it's not airing HD content.

My guess is MTV Networks, Fox Cable, and maybe one more provider. Tribune only operates local TV stations, and these are CONUS beams.

[FitzAusTex]

My guess is MTV Networks, Fox Cable, and maybe one more provider. Tribune only operates local TV stations, and these are CONUS beams.5-Star Max is, in fact, airing HD content. It was not for the first few days, but has been ever since then.

[JohnH]

Tribune only operates local TV stations, and these are CONUS beams. Superstation WGN.

[Paul Secic]

That would be Viacom.

Which I would like to see, but with the E* lawsuit... who knows when (and don't say "SOON") :p

[kal915]

Its probably going to be the five voom channels that were left on 5-13 and hopefully the Viacom and Fox suite
