Me too, so far looks like only my 129, but have only checked espn,bbc,fx, and tcm hd.

Add me too, I really desire the OTA. Also a question that really doesn't matter, but is interesting. I get HD locals from both San antonio and Austin through dish, all networks etc. Which one will Prime time use, because occasionally there is a local sporting event, especially the Spurs that...

Can some mod delete this thread or at least move it to pub. I remember many FTA channel that were lost due to loose lips. For you who have 4dtv, remember "the presidential channels". Patrick

My answer would be, "it depends on the area you teach". If you teach social studies, sure. If you teach math no. It would be helpful to be clinical, neither pro or anti obama. For example if you have a psychology class have them analyze his speech to see what it is aiming for and why. Perhaps...

Actually this is a question that should be in the FTA forum, since this not a dish transmission. Usually people with such receivers and a BUD(Big useful dish) can just turn the satellite to that position and if their equipment can pick it up, it will show either in a blind scan or they can enter...

Actually Stars Wars started at 4:45 cst on HBOHD. still on actually. Patrick

This is a great feature and a great improvement over what we had. For those who say the local on the 8s will be the same as what we have now, look again. It has been stated clearly that local warnings/watches WILL be included. That is currently not the case so we know in that respect at least...

It is about choice, but not in the way mentioned above. Parents have the right to choose what concepts to which their children are exposed. Due to the changes and the pace of our society, parents can not be around their children as much as needed. Thus its more important to have some general...

I read somewhere that NGHD has the same programing as NG, so it seems they might only give it to subscribers who currently receive NG. Obviously this is just speculation and what Mark says makes a good deal of sense and I hope it is what happens(of course dish doing what makes sense is no...

Unfortunately, just because a company is based in Texas doesn't mean that Texas' laws apply to elements in other union ruled states. I will say that the case of the Dish Installers might well be one rare case where unions might serve a useful purpose. Patrick

Jag i think your list is right, exept I think food HD doesn't start until late June. Patrick

I get SA as significantly viewed(2 stations,cbs/nbc), will I get the HD version. So far only the sd version is available. Now I know KSAT isn't up yet, but still I only see the sd version of CBS. S I am assuming that just because you can see stations as signficantly viewed doesn't mean you can...

Actually this brings up a good question that somebody else will have to answer. Could somebody post a list of largest DMA based on dish subscribers because that will give us a better view instead of just the rank of the DMA. Its very possible that dish is using their subscriber rank as a general...

Scooter, I'm in the Austin DMA, but get 2 SA stations as significantly viewed. I'm hoping this will mean I'll get those now in Hd. I asked about this earlier, but I didn't word my question right and have been too busy to clarify. I'm real lucky in that though i'm 70 from austin, I get all...

Wow, since San Antonios HD are going live on EchoX, this now brings up a question that I hope is stupid. Is it safe to assume that if we get stations from another DMA(San Antonio in my case) we will also get the HD versions. This is important to me because we get Austins HD perfect(they're only...
