DirecTV to add 44 HD local markets (Updated with Launch Schedule)

All new HDLIL should be from D11 at 99.2. Unless they rearrange some transponders between 99 and 103, then there might be some coming from 103.

As for the 72.5 dish, I will be happy to take that down from my roof as well.

This morning notices some readings from D11 on the 99(s) readings on my HR20's. AFAIK, TP's 15 -> 24 are the spot beams from D11. Hopefully that means they're getting close to turning up some new HD LIL cities.

Was hoping I'd wake up to HD locals today with the launch of the other channels. Oh well, should be soon I hope!

Just came home for a quick check. I have the new HDs like Planet Green, but NO LOCAL HDs....I live in Chattanooga. What gives? Not a one showing up. I am new to this discussion, but did I miss something?

None of the Aug. launches(locals) have happened yet, don't think there is a clear date.

So as of August 18, none of the local HD's scheduled for ths month have launched? Only 13 more days left in the month. This doesn't make me feel hopefule for next month when my local hd channels are scheduled.

Well since I'm seeing active transponders on 99(s) for over a week I would hope that is a good sign that things are progressing. But then again, it took D* was a few months late getting locals up here.
