???? for the DIRT Team Re" Orlando

[OrlandoSGM]

Just wondering if you could check on the status of a few things about the Orlando market:

1) When can we expect out local PBS Station to get a HD feed (WUCF)
2) When can we expect for the CW affiliate (WKCF-18) to get a HD feed? They are owned by Heart which is the NBC Affiliate (WESH-2) and they have been up in HD for a long time.
3) Will other other digital feeds from the local stations every make it onto DISH?

Thanks so much!

We do not have any information regarding these channels or the addition of any other channels in the Orlando market.

I though DISH was going to have ALL PBS feeds in HD by 2012?

I think it's 50% by the end of 2012 and all of them by the end of 2013.

I thought that was under litigation.

Dish provided WMFE in HD when it was PBS then continued to do so even afterwards for another 6 months but never gave us the new replacement affiliate in HD, WBCC aka WUCF, it's really inexcusable for a provider to be so removed from the local market happening that they have no idea there is a new PBS affiliate.

Amen....it's going on a year the WUCF is our new PBS station and we have to suffer through SD transmission....if its space they needed, they already took off the WMFE HD feed and could have replaced it with WUCF!!!
