What happened to the Atlanta LiL HD channels?

[The Big Wood]

When the MPEG 4 plans were announced, Atlanta LiL HD was being touted by Dish as one of the first cities to be broadcast in HD. Since that time, I have seen announcements (if I remember correctly, from Dish themselves) swing back and forth...Atlanta HD is on the list and then not on the list.

Have I missed the Atlanta HD locals on the uplink reports, or are they actually not there?

I emailed the CEO addy the same question last week, but I have received no response. Anybody have the scoop on this?

Thanks,
Anthony

I thought the same thing but you know how Dish says something then does something else. We still have about a week until 1 Feb. So my guess is that if it's not up by 1 Feb then it will be shortly after or definately in the next round of LIL additions.

Yeah, as far as I've seen they are not uplinked yet. Who knows. I guess it doesn't matter for me anyway since I won't be getting a 622 until it drops down to $99 (after rebate).

Has anyone heard anything new about this? I've ordered my 211 but I don't think they have been uplinked yet have they?
