Albuquerque and New Mexico HD

[LoBridge]

I was looking at
http://ekb.dbstalk.com/hdlocal.htm

and they show Albuquerque, NM as uplinked for HD Locals. That is my market, but Dish says they are not active yet. Anyone know anything about this one?

Thanks in advance!

According to James Long (dbstalk.com): "Albuquerque will get HD locals before March 13th."

They will be MPEG4 so you will need one of the new ViP series receivers...

My vip622 and Dish 1000 are scheduled to be installed on 3/4 - Great news for me! The only OTA HD I can get here is a 60 signal from FOX in ElPaso.

Thanks for the quick responses!

NP... no OTA here and Mts and 150 miles from El Paso, Roswell has one... I am supposed to get with my local dealer for a 622 this week ( am buying it)

I realize that the Alb. CBS feed involoves a dispute. Is dish and the local disputing. Is there ever a chance that we will get CBS or just count our blessing and go on. If there is something I can do from my end, like emails to whomever, I would like to know. But the other three channels are a w e s o m e!

Just curious
How are you lucky enough to get CBS HD. Are you getting it with a OTA ant. I live up in Farmington and would love to get CBS in HD. Oh well, time will tell.

Grandfathered, plus waivers from the Station Engineer at KRQE several years back... Since KRQE is not onboard the HD Alb. locals, Call them and ask for the engineer and explain your situation and request a waiver...
