Your Uplink should say New York, Not Atlanta!
Atlanta was removed NY has now taken over.

I dont think digi rewrote it to detect locals changes like that, nor does he really need to as this will probably be one of the few (if not only) time the locals will change from on DMA to another and not move channel spaces.

ok help me here are they putting some locals back on conus?

These are All American Direct distant networks--not being provided by Dish "officially."

Correct. I think it's a simple fix though. But of course it's going to be rare when it happens.

not really

as noted above, these are the All American Direct networks. they just changed Atlanta to NY for East Coast

the program grid still shows Atlanta affiliates

Mine has now updated. All New York here. Yeah!
