those of us with a hopper have to switch tv input which is dumb seeing that the channel is on sat.

I dont have hopper but I dont have OTA also.....I just cant put up another antenna up. I tried those small antennas...indoor types...& it can get couple of channels...& outdoor antenna is out of question. So I depends on my dish to watch my TV.

It appears that they are waiting for FoxHD to be uplinked also...so that they can turn all those locals HD plus the other ones (mostly from AT250) to make a big news here. Well....atleast there will be more HD channels to go around. Still disappointed that instead of SciHD..they are giving us Galavision HD...which had been blocked for PR subs for a long long time & only recently was unblocked.

Feel your pain, rajmarie. What worries me is that I was hoping for FoxHD to be uplinked this week. By not being uplinked, I suspect that this means, at least, that we will have to wait until next week for FoxHD to be uplinked, THEN we will have to wait at least another week for testing, etc., so maybe we won't see any new HD until at least 2 or 3 weeks. If that is so, in the best scenario, we will have new HD October 24, which is the beginning of the MLB World Series. So, in your case, you will have miss all the playoffs.... and that is not good news for you.
Can you try one of those indoor antennas again, and point them directly to WAPA? (if you have line of sight) It's worth a shot. Where I live I would have to point my antenna roughly to the south. TV Fool have great maps to find exactly where you have to point, depending on the coordinates where you live. If you want, you can PM me and I can help a bit more with your address and generating the map.

Hope this helps.

HD they are waiting for that fox to be uplinked to have everything up pretty soon and I say pretty soon

If you say it enough times it will eventually come true :D

The Fox station just changed from SD to HD a few days ago (the stations are on C-Band) so Dish probably dint have enough time to uplink it this week

The NBC station (WVGN) went HD on 10/1 and dish uplinked it on 10/3 so Nel is right with the "pretty soon" thing

Hi Everybody.

Just wondering???? Dish just uplinked WAPA2 in HD to Spotbeam 22 TP 5 right! So my first question is: How many HD channels fit on a TP? I am seeing that every other TP oriented towards PR has 7 channels; so I am assuming that 7 HD channels is the maximum capacity. So as of right now with this new uplinked channel TP 5 is full. Where is WSJX (FOX) HD going to be uplinked because if it is not uplinked to TP 5 PTAT is not going to work for PR. All 4 mayor networks have to be on the same TP for PTAT to work. So I would like to know Dish intentions are with this feature?
