I'm just happy that Milwaukee is on the list for April...our CBS affiliate (WDJT) is not available on DirecTV in HD (contract issues I think), will that affect whether or not it is available on dish?

(Used to be that LIN was a guaranteed no, but that changed last week, for the better).

Initially I thought that this is a good news, but now looking at all the negative publicity that is out there (WSJ, Motley Fool etc.) I am convinced that the press release is all about wall street's concerns and not really about the subscribers.

I'd say watch the uplink center here for the next 3-4 weeks, and then make up your mind if it was good or bad.
Based on what I'm seeing, it's all good news, and all will be fine.

Seriously? | Bad statement.... I live 75 to 80 miles away from my locals. So, if one is saying Tulsa locals, it doesnt just include Tulsa! It is all of us surrounding rual folks that can't pick ours up from the OTA.

And/Or they are going to use our spot beam for LIN stations, which would get them into a market D* doesn't have. OR they are going to use the bandwidth for national-hd. Hopefully they'll get us in a few months.

Seriously? | Norfolk, VA are you serious? According to the 2006/2007 DMA rankings, Norfolk was 42nd while Buffalo was 49th.

Two more satellites ready to go that MAY get to the proper orbit.  chickens counted, eggs not yet hatched.
More spin control and another year of being behind that other company. If D* is smart they'd be offering the moon for new subs. Maybe they are already and it'd be worth checking out.......
