Maybe if enough of you switch those of us the intend to stay with E* will start seeing some results.

I will probably make the switch back to D in the fall. I don't want to lose my Center Ice money and then pay D for the same package. I wont bother in the summer as there is little new programming. Hopefully by the fall the termination fee wont be that bad.

Looks like Tulsa. Oklahoma is overlooked again with local HD!

How do you know? They only listed 11 out of their plan of 65. Tulsa is inside Spotbeam #15.

USA and ScFi HD will be on Dish in a month or so.

Your source? You say that with confidence. I agree it is LIKELY.

I really can't say my source. But I did ask a bunch of questions and it looks like it is going to happen.

You all complain about your big city locals not being broadcasted in HD. BOO-HOO. You all can put up a small antenna and get them. You should try living in the middle of no where Iowa, where there are no locals, and you cannot get them through Allamerican Direct. No sympathy for you. I also wish for more HD channels, but we cannot get everything at once!!!

I really only asked about those two. I have been waiting for those. As far as I have heard they will launch those two channels with out having to send up another bird. I am sure more is to come once they get those other birds up.

That's all I really know at this time. Just thought it was good news and I would share it with everyone.

Umm... the USAHD and SCIFI HD news is old and we already know about them launching without a new bird. They have their slots sitting on 110W waiting to be lit.
