HD locals for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, PA timeframe??

[DebbyH]

I emailed WNEPs Action 16 . They seemed to get D* but in gear with our HD locals, So I wrote them in hopes they could bug the crap out of Dishnetwork. I'll keep you posted. I'll give them 48 hours to respond to my letter, Then I'm calling WNEP. and I'm going to keep bugging them untill I get results

Thanks, hemi!

I tried to perfect my "whine", but apparently its not working as of late because I'm not used to "whining".

I need help.....ASAP!

In the meantime, I'm still looking at SD Locals..... with a big puss on!

I am starting to look less and less forward to the next uplink report. Too depressing. Hopefully this week...

Good Luck everyone!!

It always helps to have a good cheese with wine....Oh wait you said whine not wine.

Well I am looking at HD locals, Unfortunately they are not my locals. Hopefully Dish will get their act together and add them this week.

As for "whining" I am more of a beer guy.

OK ,Sherman at WNEP, wrote me back . He said Realize that he can't make Dishnetwork do anything. But they are considering a story just as they did with D*. My advice is take a couple of minutes , write Wnep a letter yourselfs, asking them to follow up with Dishnetwork HD locals in our area. The more help I have I think the better this will be. I did write him again. Hopefully he'll let me know whats going to happen.

Thanks, Hemi!

I'll add to it by sending off emails to all 3 local stations also.

Cool, I think this will help.

BRIAN,

I JUST REPORTED ON THIS LAST NIGHT ON THE NEWS AT 7!
BASICALLY WHAT DISH SAYS IS THE COMPANY IS WORKING ON PROVIDING LOCAL CHANNELS IN OUR MARKET IN H-D...IT EXPECTS TO HAVE THAT UP AND GOING BY THE END OF THE YEAR...THAT'S ALL THEY WILL TELL US.
AS FOR DIRECTV... IT ACTUALLY STARTED AIRING 16 IN H-D A FEW MONTHS AGO...AND I'M TOLD WBRE AND WYOU RECENTLY.
WHEN SATELLITE COMPANIES DECIDE TO OFFER LOCAL STATIONS IN H-D IS REALLY UP TO THEM. IT'S BASED ON COST AND NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE LOCAL STATIONS...BUT ULTIMATELY IT'S DISH NETWORK'S BALL GAME.
KEEP IN MIND THIS IS A "PROCESS" FROM H-D TO DIGITAL AND SO FORTH AND SO ON...IT'S A PROCESS.
THERE'S REALLY NOTHING I CAN DO OTHER THAN SHARE WITH YOU WHAT THEY TELL ME AND RIGHT NOW THEY ARE NOT SAYING ANYTHING IN DETAIL ABOUT IT PUBLICLY.
BEST ADVICE...HANG IN OR USE YOUR CONSUMER POWER AND CANCEL SERVICE WITH THEM!


SHERMAN

real cool he got back to me so fast.. nothing new to report, at any rate.

Wow, it went from "soon" to July 30th, to the fall and now by year's end. We're going backwards now.

I'll be upset when football season starts and I don't have any Scranton HD locals.

I sure would be nice to watch the game tomorrow night in HD!
