Digi, have you heard if the New Orleans Fox Channel (ch 8) will be HD or SD, because last week when they were uplinked, NBC, CBS, and ABC channels said MPEG4 HD, but the Fox channel said MPEG4 SD. We were hoping that was a typo, but have you been able to find out if we will get Fox in HD, or SD from 129 starting Febuary 17th.?

Sioux City IA
Sioux City, IA is listed at 5250 thru 5253. Earlier I looked and it showed it SD and now it's says it's a special event not for purchase. Just wondering. Thanks

damn straight.
I remember calling DTV 4 years ago and asking when they'll have Erie's locals? They said any day now.
They still don't have them. Even in SD.
I wonder why the Tupelo and Meridian, MS markets are not being placed on the EA? Will they be moved again later on, once they are made available?
What the hell? Rockford, IL HD? I don't think those have ever been mentioned by E*. My dad will be very happy when those go available.
61.5 spotbeams are full. They were cut short a couple of transponders on R12 since AMC14 never made it to 61.5 to replace E3.
When you have a ton of beams on 129 waiting to be used why not put some other markets up there?
yeah like Tucson? o wait we are out west so lets put EASTERN cities on the WESTERN arc.. o yeah me trying to think logically again..
dish has its head up its ... again.. pure crap.
Thanks Digi. I guess I'll still have to wait for EA for existing customers. Not a fan of having a separate dish installed just for those locals.
Huh? Dish has its head up.... because they helped design a satellite at 129 to have spotbeams cover the entire US? It would have been a very idiotic move to only design with spotbeams in the western part of the US.
It's very logical to use this satellite with beams and cover the entire US with spotbeams, then load the beams up with locals across the US.
And before you flip a lid... there's a spotbeam designed just for Tucson, AZ in mind on TP 3. You are probably also in the coverage of the other AZ beam that contains TP 5 and TP 7. And quite possibly the NM beam.
I am well aware of the Tucson Beam.
I still stand that Dish has its head somewhere else.
And flipping a lid? meh not even close.
I think there may be space on R1/E12. TPs 17, 19, 21, and 23 are capable of being used for spots, but they are not used as such. However, there may be power issues preventing their use. Maybe that is the larger reason for moving internationals.
Question is, when will they become available?
Are you ready for the answer? Nah, I won't say the infamous word.

Yep, that's what I thought.
Yep, exactly what I was getting at with the AMC 14 failure.
I would assume you have a 110/119 dish in your setup right?
