Hah! Thanks for the offer, but already having 2 dishes, and then adding an antenna, wouldn't be aesthetically-pleasing to a woman's eye!
I'll wait for the HD, and just whine in the meantime!
Looking forward to hockey season....withdrawal is just about at its max. See you soon also!
Not yet. No locals lit up (available) today. Hopefully we will see another report soon that makes us have a happier hump day.
I tried calling a local station about a year ago when I signed up for HD because Dish told me that they didn't have my locals in HD because my locals were not transmitting HD. I don't remember which channel I called, but they told me they had been transmitting HD for quite a while, the Dish satellites weren't broadcasting it. I guess if you call now, they MIGHT be able to tell you if there is a hold up in the negotiations or something. Even if they tell you that they have already signed a deal, it's still up to Dish to light them up for us.

HOLY COW!! The uplink report has 531 changes! TONS of locals added and available. Great news for pretty much everybody except us. NONE of ours were made available!!
Those locals are SD locals that were already available. They were just switched to Mpeg4 and put on the 72.5 satellite from, my guess the 119 or 110. Those are not new HD locals. HD locals are on the 61.5.HOLY COW!! The uplink report has 531 changes! TONS of locals added and available. Great news for pretty much everybody except us. NONE of ours were made available!!
Oh yeah. Oops. Guess I got a little excited and didn't read thoroughly. (Plus I am used to seeing many others get locals in HD with none for us!) Thanks for the correction.
Regardless, no HD for us.

I emailed WNEPs Action 16 . They seemed to get D* but in gear with our HD locals, So I wrote them in hopes they could bug the crap out of Dishnetwork. I'll keep you posted. I'll give them 48 hours to respond to my letter, Then I'm calling WNEP. and I'm going to keep bugging them untill I get results
Thanks, hemi!
I tried to perfect my "whine", but apparently its not working as of late because I'm not used to "whining".
I need help.....ASAP!
In the meantime, I'm still looking at SD Locals..... with a big puss on!
I am starting to look less and less forward to the next uplink report. Too depressing. Hopefully this week...
Good Luck everyone!!

It always helps to have a good cheese with wine....Oh wait you said whine not wine.
Well I am looking at HD locals, Unfortunately they are not my locals. Hopefully Dish will get their act together and add them this week.
As for "whining" I am more of a beer guy.
OK ,Sherman at WNEP, wrote me back . He said Realize that he can't make Dishnetwork do anything. But they are considering a story just as they did with D*. My advice is take a couple of minutes , write Wnep a letter yourselfs, asking them to follow up with Dishnetwork HD locals in our area. The more help I have I think the better this will be. I did write him again. Hopefully he'll let me know whats going to happen.
