DirecTV to Light 8 Add'l HD Markets in April

[Newshawk]

Not yet in Tulsa but waiting. Come on Tulsa 74119.

One week from TODAY!

well - guess what? they are ON. More to follow in 1-2 weeks as posted.

They sure are, I will be sure to send you a gold star or medal, whichever you prefer. I think that when you are told something 4 or 5 times and it doesn't happen, it is only natural to be skeptical. I am very happy that you were correct and they came on this morning. You seem to be very on top of things and/or have a really good insider.

I don't post 'forecasts' very often. This is really only the third time I got info that I have posted. But truth is they have all been very accurate, and yes I have 2 VERY good inside sources.

Well time I think to call D* and see about the slimline dish and a 1-H20 and 1-HR20. What's the best thing to do with two H10?

Use them as ATSC tuners for two cheap TVs?

I can verify Jacksonville up and running. Now, how do I get rid of the double listing?

 

[charper1]

edit your favorites in the EPG, are they real duplicates or just the one for each the OTA, the DirecTV "SD" and the DirecTV digital?

I'll have a 30 (shows HD programs in guide) a 30 (doesn't show HD programs), and a 30.1 (OTA)

 

[charper1]

So one is the OTA, one is the LiL digital and one is the LiL SD. You can remove any of them via the EPG favorite channel setup menu.

No biggie - just passing on info from a great person that shared it with me. Hope everyone enjoys.

For Buffalo the D* website says Channels 2 (NBC),7 (ABC) and 29 (FOX) are available in HD as of 4 April. Channel 4 the CBS affilliate is not listed.

 

[charper1]

Just a guess, but likely they or their parent company may be "squabbling" with the contract talks.
