Any info on Duluth MN local launch

[robert bourman]

Just wondering if anybody has any info on Duluth, Dish seems to keep jerking my chain with dates, and then nothing. Getting very fed up already. Robert :confused:

First it was coming Summer 03 on Superdish
Then they found out SuperDish 105 doesnt work in MN
On the November retailer chat, it was announced as coming January on Dish500
Nothing was said on December or January chats
Now its February..and nothing...

Frankly, I dont know when we'll get locals
There is room on Dish 500 for the 5 channels..Spotbeam 8 has room for 3 channels, Spotbeam 2 has room for 2 channels..but I dont think the spotbeams cover the whole DMA.

There were rumors of putting them on the 61.5 wing, but havent heard much else. They might put them on the new "Superdish" solution (as Charlie said on the last chat)

Part of the problem is our DMA is weird..it goes all the way to the UP of Michigan over to Int'l Falls.

I guess we'll have to play the waiting game.......
