DirecTV announces Oklahoma City by end of July. Now another DISH blurb says they will do them July 2.

Anybody heard any announcement about Honolulu locals? Today was a possible launch date.

Honolulu locals are now up. I ordered them this afternoon. 8 channels for $4.99, not bad. I hope Anchorage will be added soon.

 

[JohnH]

planetx or anybody with Honolulu locals, if you could provide a list of the Call Signs along with the associated 8000 series channel numbers, it would be appreciated.

There has been some concern as to the accuracy of the list that was provided.

Where is Columbus? It is the 34th DMA. OK City 45th and Honolulu 72nd.

Baltimore is shafted again.

Sigh
