Or just excuses from Dish. The fiber has been in place and used to carry the HD signals, it is not something that is being put in or has to be upgraded. The receiver change out will still not be completed soon how many 301s are still left in the system? And yes I realize that the uplink is very complex, but again it would be good for business if they had done the work ahead of time. But, then again it could all be done and just sitting there ready to go, and is simply some other reason Dish does not want to reveal as to why they are not at least turning on the channels they used to carry.
The 301 was not on the list yet
