Is there something I have to do to get them to show up in my guide again? I can go directly to each channel by entering the number, but they aren't in the guide.

Are you guys still getting Little Rock Local HDTV off of Directv? I was getting NBC the other morning, now I'm just getting SD.???

Have any of the cities scheduled for September launched? There is question about Little Rock?

Baton Rouge, LA; Little Rock, AR and Springfield, MO were launched last week.

How about Toledo? Is it going to happen this month ?

Is it safe to assume that Springfield, IL is still on pace for a September launch...considering Baton Rouge & Little Rock have been launched?

The latest word is to "expect" the rest of the September list to go live next week, which is typically Thursday morning, but could also happen Wednesday.

Good news for everyone waiting on the Sept list, just in time for network premiers.

Thank god. My wife has been constantly bitching about our move and not getting severe weather warnings for our area.

Thanks for the input Jason! I can't wait!

One more quick question...I am guaranteed to get all the networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX) in HD?

Thanks!

Is Little Rock, AR up??? If it is, I'm not getting it. What Sat and Transponders are the Local HD channels on?? I ran through the setup again but am not sure which I should be looking for?
