Does that mean those five markets are the only markets
getting HD locals anytime soon? I'm in Marquette MI and am
getting fed up with no network tv in HD.

I know that Marquette isn't exactly a metropolis, but directv managed
to get us our HD locals, I figured dish would be quick to match. I'd rather have
no locals and be able to get HD networks from somewhere else

Dish has a commitment to carry all markets, but the commitment does not say they have to be in HD.
Well, they are moving most of the national programming off 77W. Maybe they'll be using the space for some additional HD LIL. That's where they had you penciled-in last Fall before pulling the plug. Otherwise, I don't know. They operate in a strange fashion which may make sense to them but leaves us scratching our head a good deal of the time.
Marquette MI is the land that time forgot... looks like thats true on the HD locals front too.
Though if your looking for a good pasty...Marquette as the rest of the UP is the place to be, Hopefully some HD will follow!!
What date is echostar 14 supposed to launch, so that the markets that have NO locals period get them?
Hey scott, i'm specifically referring to the lake charles, la market that has no local
channels with dish or directv. I'm currently a directv customer and have heard that dish might get them first. Any heads up on when the locals will come on
in my area.
Where did you see Rochester NY locals and what sat are they suppose to go on? Thanks.
Dish is kinda reluctant to project future HD locals. They've been wrong before, and once burned, twice wary.
And from a New Orleans boy with relatives in Lake Charles - How you like your part of Texas?

i'm not talking about HD locals. Just plain ol' locals. We have NO locals. I heard
before on here they were coming on the end of march. Are they being delayed
again?
The three locals for Lake Charles are indeed uplink and being tested on eastern arc. I'm sure they are waiting for the new local channels laws to be passed so they can bring in CBS & ABC since Lake Charles does not have those channels in their DMA.
