I'm another one crying in my beer about the broken promise of Roanoke locals in HD in March. It takes the fun out of coming here looking to be thrown a bone when we're fed lies (re: March launch) to begin with. I know...I should know better by now.

5153(23) - WPFO [MPEG4 HD] added to Echostar12 61.5W TP 09 Area 6 beam (NA)(Waterville, ME-FOX)

If I get my FOX local (WPFO 23) in HD this week with the other new channels, it will be a great week.

 

[Hall]

can we find out if there is something on those place holders.

Only people with 'engineering' boxes or pirates can. Though I think digiblur can get a bandwidth number from them and tell if it's an actual channel or if it's blank.

 

[Laddyboy]

Has been for the last four months...that's where I stopped.

I think this is correct and they are Wednesdays:

Feb. 25 = 1
Fe. 18 = 1
Jan. 14 = 1

So usually, not always, not that it really matters.

 

[JohnH]

For the most part the bandwidth on these TMP channels is not sufficient to deliver any real content.

That doesn't sound promising.

Nore is it surprising.

 

[Juan]

Scott's sources wrong again!!!

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

The day is not over my friends.

And besides Juan, where have I said anything about my sources for these channels? The only source here was Charlie Ergen on the Charlie Chat.

 

[Dgenx321]

Uh Scott's source was Charlie Ergen making an ass of himself on his own show.....

 

[Bradp56]

Charlie didnt lie he said April 1st, but not the year.

 

[Bradp56]

UFC is on tonight I hope I have it in HD.

 

[Hemi 6.1]

Scott's sources wrong again!!!

You can get Dishnetwork in Moscow Russia?

 

[krauser1]

This will do it for me with Dish. They made us wait too long for these channels and for them to be promised on a Chucky Chat and then not made available on the date promised is truely bad service. I give them till tomorrow morning. If they are not on, bye bye Dish.

 

[mthawki]

Any sign of KMMF - FOX in Missoula being uplinked too?

 

[jlhugh]

what is the lastest time that hd channels have been turned on? all i can remember since i have had hd is 5pm est is about the lastest. i think we might be in for a riot tomorrow.

 

[bebop]

LOL Let me quote a preschool teacher: "You get what you get and you don't throw a fit."

Are we twins or something?

Just spoke to a CSR, not that that means much, but he said there was no new HD coming out today and no news when it would be coming out. Also, just so you know, Roanoke has been "delayed" with no reasons given.

 

[teamlazyboy]

generally CSRs only admit (or even know about) to channel changes until the following day

 

[Laddyboy]

For those CSRs in India and the Phillipines, add a couple more days for time lag.
