    I have no idea why KPLC NBC 7 is on 77. Is it possible that it will be moved over to the 119/110/129 ? I will try to find out more information from my contact. Obviously my contact is reliable at this point. But he did not reveal that the channel would be on the 77 satellite. I'm confused...

    Who at dish decides when you get your local channels?

    I was told by the General Manager of KPLC NBC 7 (Jim Serra) back in November 2009 that KPLC would be uplinked by the end of the year. I asked "end of what year? 2009?" He said YES, end of 2009. Now, it is only January 15 2010, and I haven't asked how it is coming along, but someone could...
