Your talking about the cleveland locals, and these "rumors" were started by a retailer or installer, who I believe also told that person to go to directv...I have not heard anything to give any kind of traction that locals would be uplinked on 61.5 then moved to 129.
Should also consider that "Eastern Arc" may way heavily in any decision to move westward what is already in the east.
Things are not in testing at 61.5 just to move them to 129. That retailer don't know what he's talking about.
Since every Texas HD local seems to be going on 61.5 is it a safe bet that San Antonio will be added also. They did Houston and Dallas last week. So it seemed wierd they would not have done San Antonio at the same time.
That was me - a local told me that and a Dish CSR told me that (re: the CLE locals only on 61.5 for tests and moving to 129). Believe me, I am just trying to figure out why I would be scheduled for install of a Dish 1000 when supposedly my locals will be lit on a bird my new dish won't be able to see in a week? Are these guys really that out of touch with corporate decisions?
its sad to say but yes...but you have to remember this, Dish CSR's dont even know whats going on, I am with you, if it were this close to our locals getting turned on, and I had a install pointing me at the wrong satellite I would be confused as well.....is there anyway to delay your install for just a bit to see whats going on?
My you are stubborn .
But you are right it may not be on yet , but the fact that it is uplinked makes me believe it will be turned on . Especially since the sd version of FOX 64 is already up there just like CBS 6, NBC 4, ABC 12. :up
My you are stubborn .
There's quite a few HD LiL's that are missing a channel where the SD version is carried. All I'm saying is don't assume you'll get all four until the day they kick off.
Table data sent to 61.5 doesn't mean they are "testing" anything. It is a place holder for stations to come. Nothing is being sent to 61.5 except a Dish HD slate, probably.
Yes, on one of the other treads he got his upgrade moved to april 4th i believe. If his locals are turned on this coming wed.or the next wed. he ought to be alright.(at least then dish csr will know what is going on, and make the correct upgrade plans)
It is quite possible that some cities will be carried by both systems. Dallas is on 110 and now on 61.5.
