    Remaining two Syracuse HD Locals

    Any news on when the remaining two Syracuse, NY HD locals (ABC and CBS) will be made available? They have been uplinked for several weeks, but are not yet available. Does anyone have any info if this is a technical issue or if a contract is still being negotiated?

    Albany, NY HD Locals

    Here in Syracuse, E* would be the only provider to have Syracuse HD locals other than Time Warner. I don't think D* even has them uplinked. They would definitly have a great marketing tool if they got off their lazy butts and turned them on. Coming "soon" only works for so long!

    Albany, NY HD Locals

    According to Scott G., Syracuse, NY and Albany, NY have won the lottery for being turned-on this week along with the CT and ME locals. Up to now all we have seen is CT and ME. What's the deal Scott, will I be getting Syracuse HD locals today?

    No new HD for a while?

    Where are the Syracuse, NY HD locals? Acording to Scott G. they were supposed to be turned on this week. Are they still scheduled for today?

    Scott, You mentioned the other day that Syracuse, NY HD locals should be turned on this week. Is that still in the works for tomorrow?

    Syracuse, NY HD Locals

    Scott, Do you have any word from your contacts as when the uplinked Syrcause HD locals will be made available? I have received an e-mail from E* saying that HD locals will be available soon. Any info? Do you think that they will be turned on at the same time as Buffalo?

    KBS World Included with AT60 with SuperDISH... Any Update?

    I'm not sure where in Upstate NY you are located but, the Syracuse, NY local channels are on the 121 satellite and require a Superdish. Since you're having this 121 dish installed you might want to consider adding the Syracuse locals to your package for just $5.99 (if your in the Syracuse DMA).

    baseball question

    I haven't heard anything about D* or E* signing an agreement for this new station. Remember, this is a channel co-owned by TW and Comcast and they are under no obligation to distribute this channel to DBS systems. There is a possibility that this will be a cable only network just like CSN...

    OLN Dropped by Dish over Programming Disputes

    Agreed. I'm not a hockey fan but, I think everyone needs to relax. This is only affects a small number of games and is just a negotiation tactic. Actually I don't think the NHL will be on OLN next year based upon their ratings on that channel. According to USA Today the ratings are virtually...

    Viacom Debacle

    I still tend to think that agreements for the Viacom networks (i.e. Nick, MTV, Noggin, etc.) will still be valid for the new Viacom Inc. and that if anything is affected by this change it would only be the CBS/UPN O&O stations that would be under CBS Corp. control.

    Viacom Debacle

    Most often, the agreement carries over to the new division. Afterall, it is still Viacom, just a new division. Both companies will still have the same chairman, Sumner Redstone. It's not like they sold this division to Comcast.

    Dish Nightmare

    Paul, Please don't belittle all E* installations because of your experience. My installation went off without a hitch via DNSC. It was a Superdish pole mount and the installers did a great job (it was a two man crew). They even dug a trench to bury the cable and carefully replaced the sod...

    I'm done with Dish........

    I did just the opposite. I had Dish from 1999-2004 and then switched to D*(I made the mistake of listening to the D* cheerleaders). I switched back to E* this past June and couldn't be happier. I found that D* just wasn't for me for the following reasons: 1. PQ is better on E*. I know that PQ...

    I have MSG and FOXP2

    They way I read it, we should get everything except for the Mets. Of course, they'll be on their own network next season anyway.
