[dewzan]

yeah, nothing

 

[Mr Tony]

looks like they are truly getting to EA or WA only...lots of those markets didnt have the non HD channels on EA so folks needed 2 dishes

no more

 

[RandallA]

Some HD activity in the HD Latino package, we know what happens when they do that.

 

[goaliebob99]

Dissapointment says it all!

Not sure I follow you, The Eastern Arc setups require VIP receivers, Because the service is Mpeg 4.

Not sure why Eastern Arc customer would have 2 dishes for locals?.
Unless they are on the 118.7.

I don't have all SD locals with Eastern Arc either. But why do I need them If I have the HD Versions of the others?

If someone wants only SD channels, they get a Dish 500

 

[tomcrown1]

What no new national HD? Will dish let the misleading direct TV ad stand?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Is it the week of the 19th yet?

 

[tomcrown1]

Is it the week of the 19th yet?

???? how many new HD on the 19th?

Is the 19th a way to help the American tax payer??

some markets only had the Big4 on Eastern Arc (Buffalo being one). So folks who wanted ALL of their locals needed an EA dish (for the big 4 in HD) and a 110 dish for the rest in SD

now DIsh crammed the other locals (My, CW, PBS etc) on the EA sats

Sure if that makes you happy.

What other markets?

All my locals are on the 61.5 the SD and HD, But I still need VIP equipment to view them.

youre not following me here Hemi...lets go back in time shall we??

When Dish added HD locals to 61.5 (pre EA) it was JUST the Big 4. Then Dish started EA and markets added after that got the whole group of channels. But some markets still didnt have all their locals on EA (the ones in the uplink) so they needed 2 dishes
Check TP 13 as example
http://www.satelliteguys.us/thelist...&sub=true&beamMap=E12_SB4.jpg&sort=TP&order=D

Buffalo EA ONLY folks had Big4 + CW for locals. No PBS and no My

Same with Syracuse & Albany
http://www.satelliteguys.us/thelist...1&sub=true&beamMap=E12_SB3.jpg&sort=TP&order=

The only way for folks to get all their locals was to have 2 dishes

 

[wkomorow]

Actually, this is a big deal. When I called for EA installation with 110 attached many weeks ago, I was told to wait, the SD channels were being mirrored on another satellite, we will have solutions for DMAs that can't get the new HD without mixing arcs. I reported this in:

http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?p=2106944&#post2106944

I was disheartened to hear from others that there was no room to do this on current satellites. Because of that I was insistent with Dish spending almost two weeks trying to get an install and finally did.

The big deal is that it looks like Dish is getting ready to support those DMAs that they previously identified as not going to have the new HD because of the sats they are looking at. Yeah NY and New England. (I realize there is a difference between being uplinked and being turned on, but still...) Now I realize that some may not have all MPEG4 receivers, but still ...

Eastern Arc requires all MPEG4 equipment

You mean 61.5, 110/119 setup. like all of us in the East had for years.
Is Buffalo concidered an Eastern Arc city?

 

[wkomorow]

Eastern Arc requires all MPEG4 equipment

therefore they will be disappointed, that was what I meant by "but still" Many us do have the necessary equipment and will have a one dish solution. I still Dish would be in trouble not providing CW,PBS,My on a different dish then ABC,NBC,FOX,CBS - now this solves it.

no Eastern Arc only. Yes Buffalo is considered EA

 

[space86]

I hope Dish gets EPIX HD in time for Star Trek 2009 film premiere

 

[wkomorow]

My preference would have been for them to uplink the HD versions of CW, My and PBS. They eventually will have to anyway.

Is WYPX a map down of the national ION or is the station actually being uplinked? I know in several markets ION is now in HD, though not in the Albany market.
