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.

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

**levibluewa** · 03-04-2009 01:55 PM

the program grid still shows Atlanta affiliates

**Hemi 6.1** · 03-04-2009 02:04 PM

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

I don't have these networks, but for those that do... I hope that the switch to NYC channels improved the PQ somewhat. When I had the distants from AAD, they looked horrible and then after Dish Network compressed even more, they looked worse than regular Dish Network SD. However I dropped the services when they said it was going up in price.
