I think Dish should give up trying to put dots on the map where markets are and just make nice flashing light patterns on the map instead. It would probably be just about as accurate as the map they like to put up.

 

[ercjncpr]

YAWN!

 

[Jim5506]

Yea, they show dots all over New Mexico, where there is basically only one DMA - Albuquerque.

They show Amarillo and Lubbock Texas with RED dots - no HD locals here.

 

[sundude90]

They Show Bangor, Maine DMA with a Red Dot. Nothing there either. Unless there adding something here this month?

Now we are waiting on another satellite launch for more HD!! Man this justs gets better all the time. I think I posted awhile back that we would not get any new national HD until D12 from direct Tv was operational and they started adding New HD. And it looks like I'm right again. Lets play follow the leader Charlie because I really Don't think you want to become #1!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[johnner1999]

the new bird going up in March, what spot is going to?

 

[ehren]

Why don't they swap Centric for ESPN-U which actually has alot of 'HD"

no they said a dozen more HD within 90 days, THEN more HD on the new satellite.

 

[ehren]

you can tell they will add more HD because the PQ has gone down big time.
