SHVRA and NM Locals

[FletchUAVDrvr]

Does anyone have any new information regarding the SHVRA and the ability to get in-state programming? I live on the border of Texas and am forced to get Amarillo locals. The problem is that they are in SD, not HD.

I read that the amendment to allow reception of in-state programming was dropped. Is that correct?

If so, is there any word when Dish will add Amarillo to its HD locals list?

Thanks,
Fletch

Haven't heard on Amarillo, will check the last tech chat map... I'm lucky and get the Albuquerque locals but would rather get El Paso or Lubbock...

Nope, the Charlie Chat had a map up, no luck for Amarillo yet, will have to look on the list for the Lubbock channels and maybe you would be close enough to that spot beam to get...

Lubbock only has SD locals, I presume that's all Amarillo has, too.

I've mentioned it before, but Lubbock isn't even within one of the spotbeams on the new 129, our SD locals are spotbeamed on 110.

Clovis area should be able to get the Albuquerque spotbeam off 129. It bleads over the TX/NM line a little bit.

Wasn't sure on Lubbock, Thanks Jim!

I have family in Des Moines NM that changed their service address to a Raton NM Address and it works for them. If ya have family or friends in Albuquerque's DMA, user theirs...
