One of the great features of the Hopper is Prime Time Anytime, but for a number of areas DISH currently does not offer HD locals, so for people in those areas they have never been able to enjoy the greatness that is Prime Time Anytime!

But for a number of these areas this changes as the Hopper has been modified to support Prime Time Anytime on SD local channels!

While I expect all SD markets will get access to this feature in the future here are the areas which support SD Prime Time Any Time now.

Alexandria, LA
Hattiesburg, MS
Amarillo, TX
Lima, OH
Bend, OR
Lubbock, TX
Billings, MT
Marquette, MI
Biloxi-Gulfport, MS
Rapid City, SD
Casper, WY
Tyler, TX
Charlottesville, VA
Victoria, TX
Clarksburg, WV
Watertown, NY
Dothan, AL
Wheeling, OH
Elmira, NY
Yuma, AZ
Eureka, CA
Zanesville, OH
Greenwood, MS

Enjoy!

I'd like to see PTAT expand to capture all the locals off the same transponder, be they in HD, SD or a combination of each. PBS and CW would be a nice addition to the other networks, even if they are only SD.

Yes, Add the CW in DMA's where they have them and PBS. I would love to see them add 10/11 PM news "Anytime." Also, a late night "Anytime" for the same big networks would be good, as well.

Yes! Grabbing late news and Fallon, Leno, Letterman, Ferguson, Kimmel and Nightline would be a most welcome addition. Late Night Anytime, LNAT... Bring it!

Just had S230 downloaded and the PTAT no longer says HD channels but apparently the AAD channels do not qualify.

What do you mean by AAD? And where are you looking that no longer says HD channels?

Gotcha, makes sense. I know who they are and I believe their official name is now Sobongo.

In Settings / DVR /PTAT, the setup showing ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox no longer says HD channels.

If you go to www.allamericandirect.com, the title is MyDistantNetworks and the name Sobongo is nowhere present. I believe the DNS function was split off from the Sobongo online store function.

I think you're right. I'm in that menu you mentioned and I don't see hd listed for any of the Networks. I know some sd markets have been introduced now with PTAT functionality but I guess I don't remember ever seeing an hd label in this menu because PTAT prior to recently only recorded the hd feed.
