Only two channels are on line when they do Anchorage locals. The rest haven't signed on yet.

2 are better then nothing anyhow, BTW :)
At least - 2 is a good start...
And who knows by Aug 28th, maybe they ll strike a couple of "last minute deals" and more then 2 will actually get launched ;)

Anybody know which two stations have agreed? I did not find anything on the Dish web page other than a March press release.

This is good news for me. :)

They will (start charging DVR fees) - more or less DONE DEAL

But get "Everything Pack" - then "no charge" (DVR fees) :)

Good to here they are adding Anchorage locals, anyone know the policy if you qualify for distant networks and then they add your current locals? Do they automatically switch you to your area locals or can you still get distants?
Reason I ask is Monday Night Football in Anchorage is tape delayed by an hour and I like the distant locals so I can see it live.

Zach, it has no effect on Distants currently being received. It may have some effect on future waiver availability as the stations may not be as willing to grant them. DISH is currently having to requalify all distants subs. May create a problem there??
