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

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