So, which market do ya'll think will be next? Do ya'll think we will have to wait until after the Olymipics? Or until the new sat lights up? What do ya'll think?

Call me selfish, but I'm crossing my fingers for the Wichita Falls, TX - Lawton, OK market to get available ASAP. It's one of several markets whose HD local channels has been uplinked since the beginning of April.

I imagine Wichita Falls/Lawton and Sherman/Ada will probably become available at the same time. Maybe Waco, TX might get lit up as well.

Wichital Falls,Tx

I am looking for that Sherman/Ada myself, I hope you are right.

 

[jclewter79]

I just wonder if Sherman/Ada is going to be mirriored to 129? It shows to be testing on 61.5 but, with my recent HD upgrade they sent a 1000.2. I called before installation and they would not change it to a wing dish, I guess I will have to wait until the channels light up to see.

I hope spike and The Fox News Channel. These 2 and the availabilty of recieving my RSN Channels would make me a happy camper.

 

[Bobby H]

It would be nice to have the HD versions of Fox News and Spike. However, this thread is about HD local channels and which local markets may be made available next (whenever E* gets around to it).

I just hope they start moving further west like Tucson, AZ sooner than later ... My OTA signal sucks at my house.

 

[grog]

I think those in Des Monies, IOWA are hoping to get their HD locals. :eek2:

Excuse me Mr. Boss man; I did not read the title of the thread thoroughly.
:sure:
Anyway, I would like to see my local market (Monroe, Louisiana/Eldorado, Arkansas market) go HD. The SD locals have poor PQ.

I'll tell ya who it won't be, Harrisburg pa, not soon, not this year, not on the horizon according to Dish

 

[ICBM99]

Call me selfish but I want to see the Odessa/Midland, TX DMA

 

[Bobby H]

Excuse me Mr. Boss man; I did not read the title of the thread thoroughly.

Did I yell at you? No. It's not my fault you missed the title of the thread so don't bark at me.

I merely kept the thread from being hijacked into another completely different topic of discussion already covered in numerous other threads.

If they get HD Locals in Tucson, then I might seriously consider switching back to Dish Network. Currently I am using a Tivo DVR on Comcast, and as much as I love the Tivo, I'm having pixelation issues that neither comcast or tivo claim responsibility for.

 

[tcatdbs]

Anyone know if they're planning on adding PBS HD locals? I have PBS-SD in Austin, it's broadcast OTA in HD and is HD on TWC, seems Dish should be passing that through.

 

[sfabobby03]

I'm crossing my fingers for Tyler/Longview Tx.

 

[girdnerg]

I know it won't happen soon, but I wish they would light up Tulsa, OK DMA. It was on the list for 2006!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BobaBird]

Many of the ones mentioned so far were to have been lit up on 7/30 per the last Retailer Chat. See the bottom of http://www.dishuser.org/hdlocal.htm

The western markets might be waiting for Ciel2 to be put in place at 129°. As for Tucson, it's on the map for 2008 and 119° 7s6 has been vacant since November.

 

[Bobby H]

I've been checking that HD Locals page on EKB every couple of days or so. That's the first time I've seen "7/30" listed as a specific target on those markets. Unless Raymie Humbert just hasn't got around to reporting the additions on EKB (which seems very unlikely) it looks like E* has simply missed those July 30 targets.

 

[scandalous]

I don't know what they'll add next, but I hope they add my market (El Paso, TX) D* recent HD locals list has El Paso, TX on there so hopefully E* will add it "soon".
