Ok, just talked to Dish here too. They knew I was going to ask about Indy locals before I finished my sentance. Was talking to someone who seemed to know what he was talking about, MUCH more so than the standard rep I've talked to there.
He said they are real close on the same 3 markets we've all heard about, no news there (how long have we been "real soon now!"). However, the part that was music to my ears is that he said that the HD locals would "just show up" one day. I told him I thought I would need a new dish, he said that a 1000 should do it. Again, asked if they would not be on the 118, he said he would be extremely surprised if they ended up on 118.
So, if it isn't Dish 1000+ production issues, what is the deal? Some legal deal with the locals, or with the whole DNS thing?
