Any love for Grand Rapids, MI? WGVU wants Dish to carry their HD signal.

Noticed that Bangor, Maine lost thier FOX HD. Whats up with that because they just added it last week?

I believe it's only available in SD via OTA.

It was only a SD Channel to begin with, but DISH thought that it was HD when it actually wasn't. SO this is them fixing their mistake, finally.

What bugs me is that WEDH is in HD for the NYC DMA on D*! How is it the CT DMA gets it but no PBS HD for NYC yet? I see even LA's PBS is about to go live.

see last week's report

Wow! I don't know how I missed that. WNET and WNJB! Thanks.

So when do we see all of this go live?

When they turn them on...

WFVX is on 7.2 in SD Digital over the air. WFVX is in HD on Cable and DirecTV because DirecTV's uplink for locals in Bangor came 2.5 years later and DirecTV is co-located at FOX. Dish is co-located several miles away at the NBC affiliate.

Dish can't get a HD signal from FOX and has finally adjusted things to only send out a SD channel.

I'm not sure the legalities of it, but I don't see why Dish can't get a basic cable connection from Time Warner into WLBZ and just uplink WFVX from cable.

No PBS hd in the bay area.

Try using OTA, I get 9.1 PBS and 44.1 CW in HD.

WCWW2

15400 - WCWW2 [EPG] added to EchoStar14 119W TP 01 Spotbeam A11 (OTA EPG:South Bend, IN)(NA)

I put a call into Customer support on Friday 9/10/10.
They are showing the same results as WCWW. Would it be possible that WCWW is sending DISH the wrong data?

Just wondered.....
