ABC in Tyler on line. Huntsville coming 3/20. (Maybe)

[TNGTony]

A little anonymous bird told me that the Huntsville CBS, NBC and PBS stations as well as the Tyler ABC station are being queued up to be activated for "mere mortals".

The folks in Tyler may already be able to see the ABC station, if not you might expect it tomorrow by this time.

I have not heard word one about Huntsville and this is news to me. But since this little birdie has been 100% correct for close to a year, I trust it is Dish's intention to start Huntville service with the three stations this week and try to get ABC and Fox on as soon as they can reach an agreement. The UPN station is not listed in any guide, nor does it appear to be uplinked. The other independent channel is listed in the "hidden" guide, but it is not uplinked either.

See ya

Also, after seeing on the TIVO board that the Directv website had been updated to tell if a person was getting locals after the new satellite went into service and got this back on the Tyler locals:
