HD local launch schedule for March

[ctcohen04]

Now that the February local HD launches seem to be done, I wonder, does anyone have a week by week breakdown for the planned activations of local HD in March?

I'd sure like to see the Santa Barbara DMA early in such a projected list

How about first adding Colorado Springs, since it was "scheduled" for Feb 25!

this is from the retailers chat....... no mention of specific dates..... just March

ct,
We on the central coast are tracking it, and have nothing new to report other than sometime in March (planned). Check out this thread for any updates:

Two different CSRs in the last 2 weeks have told me Lynchburg/Roanoke should be live the first week of March.

The CSR I talked to Tuesday said there would be an announcement at the end of this week announcing the upcoming schedule. We shall see.......

I wish the Roanoke are would get upped soon by E* or D*. I have D* now and want to upgrade to HD but whoever gets the HD locals first will get my vote.

Still looking for a weekly schedule for the local HD channel activations
Does anyone have this info or is it still a Disnetwork secret?

Must be a secret. They're already behind with Colorado Springs being missed and Indy locals strangely tabled onto a ConUS beam. I have to think the latter is just a labelling mistake since transponder 5 is a spot beam transponder.

I thought Roanoke would be uplinked last week. Maybe this week... seen a few things pointing towards this.

How about Sioux City, Iowa?

Could be Wednesday, who knows. Without a schedule from E* it is all speculation at this point. I hope you get them as soon as possible. Just be aware that Colorado Springs was scheduled for last week and didn't get them with no explanation given.

Got an Email from "a friend" at Dish this AM. No info for any planned city yet.......thought that I might get some sneak peeks, no luck

I wish Dish would turn on the NBC and ABC affiliates in Cedar Rapids, Iowa in HD. The CBS and Fox stations went HD on 2/18, but not NBC or ABC.

CSR yesterday in a chat said "Great News!!!! No official announcement, but you will have your locals soon (Lynchburg/Roanoke) maybe 2 week of March"

Oh no........... "soon"

Glad to see Sherman on there. Maybe now I can point my OTA antenna at Dallas and get ABC, CW and PBS. Sometimes I think it would just be easier to move.

I have all my locals from Phoenix, except KAET PBS. They (again) apologized for the inconvience by not carrying the HD version.
