Says Dish Network has not released any solid promises. (so what's new?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzdLPX6MTls

Last Years Promises If they are having contract issues with HD locals, then tell us so we the customer can put some pressure on the local stations. If we were informed about why they didn't get last years HD local list done, it sure would temper any hard feelings customers might have...

How about the local HD cities they promised last year. They haven't completed that list, so what are the chances they will complete this one? All Big talk and no action..... How about completing last years list of promises, before making new ones.

Sorry Charlie, but this is goodby. Buffalo locals were suppose to be up last year, they're not. Direct TV beat you to it, what a shame.:( The Weather Channel's Local on the 8's was suppose to be up and running, it's not. :( Now it looks like the extra storage feature is running into...

I live in Buffalo, NY. All the network stations, NBC, CBS, Fox, CW, and PBS all broadcast a digital signal. The local stations themselves don't broadcast local programing, like the news, in HD, but all the network HD is being broadcasted in HD. I had to get an OTA antenna to get my local HD...

It's probably for the receivers they have out there that they are testing. "Beta Testers". I hope they get all the bugs out before they release it to the masses. It would be refreshing to get a new receiver that is relatively bug free.

Weather Channel Raining Money On HDTV The channel is spending "tens of millions" on fall high-def launch. That's according to an article in Broadcasting & Cable magazine.

It is slow here too. Very very slow...............

Nothing about "Dishonline.com"? I sure wish there were more HD PPV choices than there are today. A mention that something is coming soon would have been nice, or is that not a "Tech Question"?

What's Missing here? Cinemax HD :confused:

One thing you can count on with Dish Network lately....., never get your hopes up too high.... they will crush them every time.
