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

[Hemi 6.1]

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

I guess I'll move back to NY or Philly. What the Heck E*

Looks like I have to move to get locals in HD for NFL tonight. Anyone have a suggestion for a CONUS to move to? I was in NY and it went spotbeam a while back. I am too far for their spotbeam.

This is REALLY frustrating!!!!!

Are you too far from Philly? See what TP 11 comes in at.

If not, Burlington, NY should work for you, it's on the same spotbeam as Scranton.

Thanks, Derwin0. I will check the TP11 signal when I get home this evening. What would you consider an acceptible signal strength to go with? (I am assuming it's the 61.5 sat, right?)

Low 30's is about the bottom of the barrel. I'm in Newfoundland Pa and Philly spot beam is 47-53 on average. 30 is ok on a good day, but if its raining you might end up in the Teen or less. Not good.

According to last nights charlie chat, we should be getting our locals in 30 to 45 days. Keep fingers crossed.

Scranton Wilkes Barre, Or just some locals?

[fmanfr66]

They put up the list of upcoming markets for HD Locals and said within 30 to 45 days for wilkesbarre, pa

I don't know if they were specifically referring to Wilkes Barre in the Charlie chat last or not (DVR'ed it to watch tonight), but even if it was, I am not holding my breath. I hope to be pleasantly surprised, but we have seen this before. In the July 10th retailer chat WB/Scranton was specifically mentioned with a date of July 30th. That didn't happen and in the next chat it was changed to Fall 2008. I have also seen screenshots listing it for "by the end of the year". I don't put much faith in their release dates. I sure hope this one is right, though!!!
