Someone had a theory that they picked Thursday's because there are other channel changes on 7/30 and 8/13. Seemed like a good theory.Herdfan said:Ask him about Thursday?
For some reason, DirecTV has decided to use Thursdays as their new launch day.

Thanks ... and I guess you guys are right ... I did hear from someone else that they mentioned the 14th for new stuff.Tom Robertson said:Corrected your post.
I guess I was hoping to get the other two local channels in my area in HD. I have read stories that people around here (northeast PA) are having some of their national HD's shut off on the 7th. DTV granted us access to HD ABC (WNEP) and FOX (WOLF) but we have yet to receive CBS (WYOU) and NBC (WBRE). I read that a deal between NEXSTAR & DTV was done in June and was effective July 1, but no one can tell us when we'll see those other two locals
CW (WSWB) and MY (WQMY) would be nice too if they ever get around to it ...

Please don't take this as gospel, but i am in the same region as you, just off I-84.
once upon a long ago I saw a list of planned migration dates for local markets and ours was on that list in the 1st or 2nd week of August.
No, I don't know where I saw it, I'm not even sure it was on this forum, BUt see it I did, and I'm just passing on my memory of it.
Yes I know the word of "some guy on the internet" is worth about as much as a teaspoon of warm spit, but I am hoping to see 22/28/38 in HD sooner rather than later.
44 as well, since WVIA is the uplink point to directv for our local stations, though from my understanding the PBS HD carriage agreement is quite complicated and another victim of the "soon" timeframe.

I am in the same DMA as you and have heard this same thing. But when WNEP and FOX came online they were available on the tv listing on D* website a few days before. If you look today WYOU and WBRE are still not their. So I am not sure if this means anything. I am one of the people that got the call that I will be losing my DNS service on Thursday. I live in Clinton county and I have had DNS since I went to HD almost 2 years ago. Really going to miss these two channels in HD.cashoe said:

Personally I do not expect to be on my computer tomorrow morning at 3AM. If you want more of a clue than that I can't help you.

My Thursday dream.........
Olympics channels, PBS rollout, locals in the four markets......
My Thursday reality............. will be dissapointment.
I so enjoyed two weeks ago when Satelliteracer spilled the beans. Maybe we can coax him into doing so again.
