I was just wondering, Ill probably get everything setup next week.

So I cancelled my cable a few weeks ago with the intention of switching or just going without. I like Direct because of the NFL ticket obviously. Is there anyway to get a better discount since the seasons already started? Any possibility to get 2 seasons free with a new sub?

Apparently they'll just turn them on when they feel like it. I guess they want to watch us swing for a little bit longer, its been a year for me. Everythings unlinked now, at this point i don't see how it would cost them anything to turn them on, but I don't know anything about how that all...

That's seems like that's all they need to do. Its anybody's guess as to why they don't. Dont let the fact that its the largest DMA that doesn't nave HD locals and the fact that DirectTV has had them for quite a while now make it urgent in anyway.

I don't claim to know how any of it works. I was just simply wondering why it could be taking so long or if the delay is normal. I think I may have found the problem though. I dont know a lot about this STELLA bill that passed, but from what little Ive seen it seems that new DMAs are required...

Oh they have been uplinked, they're just not "on" yet. No telling whats taking so long.

The most annoying thing about the loud commercials, aside from the obvious, is that it never seems to be just one commercial. If it was just one spot and the volume returned to normal after I could probably suffer through the 30 seconds or so. But it seems they come in groups Usually once you...

So I see the Wichita have been uplinked, but alas its now June 15th and I still don't have them and see no projected time frame to get them. Is there an average time from uplink to when they actually can turn on the channel or does it vary? Is there a reason for the perceived delay?

I wonder what the chances are of getting the locals by the US Open, I guessing slim.

Yeah the BTN is great. Every non nationally televised game is on from every school. On gamedays they have multiple channels playing different games. I got to see every Michigan game last year and I'm in Kansas, 20 miles from the Nebraska border. Interestingly enough I acutally had to pay for the...

It would be nice if they at least gave us a date. Ive had Dish for over a year not and have been patiently waiting for my HD locals. I'm sure there are lots of other that have been waiting even longer. I think we at least deserve a little info.

Yeah its not we haven't been waiting long enough right :rolleyes: I guess it doesn't matter at this point. the T season are pretty much over and NASCAR is probally about to switch to ESPN or TNT or wherever it goes. I guess they better have it for football season.

Any timeframe on when these may be coning online, Ive been waiting over a year for my HD locals out of Wichita. IVe heard one person say the end of the month.

I have it and like he said most of the out of area stuff is blacked out. Not sure about college though. I think I tried to watch a NCAABB game once and it was blacked out as well, but Im not positive on that one. Im not in a Big Ten market so I got it for CFB and got a lot of Michigan games...

Ok, I love my dish so far, lots of channels and the HD Pq is fantastic. However I have one problem with it and its a big one. I have a serious rainfade issue. For the most part EVERY time it rains here I lose my dish, these are thunderstorms but the amount of rain that is coming down most fo the...

Well at least thats an explanation of why we dont have them yet, so I thank you for that, I feel a little better now. But basically what your saying is unless they do something drastic we will not have HD locals until next year at the earliest in your opinion. I guess now I have some decisions...

Im on the other side of the state. Maybe well never get then out here :(:confused::mad: Im going to be totally honest if I dont have the locals in HD by September, I will be very upset, if not by the end of the year and I may have to look elsewhere. Its unacceptable to not have these channels in...

Ok, Ive had Dish for about 4 monthss now and its ok. I loe the DVR and the HD PQ is great. What I dont like is Ive been having a pretty bad rainfade issue, hopefully fixed now, and My locals are not in HD. Fine I figured that the issue would be resolved soon, well now Im hearing that Dish has no...
