Albany, NY
Hi all,

First time poster. Does anyone have any info on when the the Albany, NY HD locals will become available. I know they have been uplinked and have seen a few postings/rumors about them coming online this week. I did receive an email stating they are coming soon
 
Since Hartford CT just turned on...

... (a month early) keep checking dishchannelchart.com and watch your e-mail for the HDTV local channels notice fm dishnetwork.
 
According to Scott G., Syracuse, NY and Albany, NY have won the lottery for being turned-on this week along with the CT and ME locals. Up to now all we have seen is CT and ME. What's the deal Scott, will I be getting Syracuse HD locals today?

I received the local HD announcement email from Dish about a week ago. I was surprised because Albany, NY was not included on any of the official roll out lists. I'll be psyched if we get it soon. :clap
 
So will I and I think a number of us got that same email. It looks like something happened to their uplink plans this week, unless they do something late this afternoon. I was expecting them to be turned on yesterday. I had a tech at the house several months ago and he told me that business slowed considerably when Direct turned on the Albany locals in HD; since this DMA includes southern VT which has one of the highest concentrations of satellite viewers relative to population (not sure where I read that but a scan of houses seems to confirm it), I would think Dish would want to turn these on.
 
Here in Syracuse, E* would be the only provider to have Syracuse HD locals other than Time Warner. I don't think D* even has them uplinked. They would definitly have a great marketing tool if they got off their lazy butts and turned them on. Coming "soon" only works for so long!
 
Does anyone have any updates on possible local HD (like Syracuse, NY or Albany, NY) being turned on tomorrow?
