Locals

After 10 years it all boils down to this: which gets here first, the direct AM21 or Memphis HD locals on Dish. No more emotion.

thanks, its fixed now!

I hope we see more than just locals in HD...

 

[garys]

And you got your info from?

 

[SarKen]

I do not think this is true. I am in the Providence market and know that the Providence HD channels have not even been uplinked yet.

If my theory is true, then this means no national HD this week. The trend seems to be they wont do HD LILs and nationals at the same time. I was hoping they'd take an LIL break.

 

[darrencp22]

What is your source BTW, are you a retailer? Can another retailer confirm?

Oh, c'mon now! Where's the love? Where's the usual Monday attitude?

How about a "this Wednesday is the 16th and 1 + 6 is 7 and 7's a lucky number and Charlie is known to be a gambler so there must be new national HD coming on Wednesday (but don't call me on it if I'm wrong)" post?

Thats exactly what my reaction was......another week of no new National HD.

New National HD will be soon real soon

 

[kennya]

Hey Dish, TULSA HD's PLEASE!!!!

worth a shot I guess....

 

[gjh3260]

New National HD will be soon real soon

Dish language..... real soon = monsoon. New National HD will be coming when U.S. gets hit with a monsoon.

Yes they are. From Dish Network Channel Chart (Unofficial)

WLNE DT (ABC) New Bedford, MA WLNE 5170 11s16 61.5° E*12 (1) Providence, RI
WPRI DT (CBS) WPRI 5171 11s16 61.5° E*12 (1)
WJAR DT (NBC) WJAR 5172 13s16 61.5° E*12 (1)
WNAC DT (Fox) WNAC 5173 13s16 61.5° E*12 (1)

They were uplinked April 2, 2008
Of course this doesn't mean they will be turned on. But all the locals mentioned in the OP are uplinked right now.

See ya
