Retailer Chat Recap: March 18, 2010

[Scott Greczkowski]

Now talking about retailer development forums which they will be holding around the country.

[Scott Greczkowski]

Now they have my buddy Blake on talking about some house cleaning issues.

Nothing interesting to report...

[Scott Greczkowski]

And with that they go to questions...

Which means this was another uneventful Retailer Chat.

Thanks for being SatelliteGuys!

Of course no word about the split arc users not getting (or even losing) HD, or information about round 2 of HD launches.

I noted a Phase1/Phase2 post by Scott in the Pub that defined phases... Is that what you're thinking of?

Yep. Not to mention we know a big chunk is in testing.

[Scott Greczkowski]

I would assume that chunk in testing is Phase 2.

Augusta, GA HD locals......YEPPIE! SUPER! FANTASTIC!

Its time we finally got around to the hd feed. Hopefully they will be up by the time the Masters is played here. It has sucked living in the city where the tournament is played and not being able to see that gorgeous golf course in HD here on the local CBS feed.

What would "generally" be a time table on when the locals would be up once the bird is up in the air?

[harshness]

Where does it say "HD" LILs?

It doesn't because they are SD markets. DISH has more than 80 unserved HD markets but only 29 unserved SD markets.

129 either didn't have any additional room in those areas or like as in Shreveport, LA, a beam on 129 didn't cover all of the DMA.. same for Wichita, KS.

Rochester, MN is the same way
