No New HD This Week

[Rob052067]

It's simply beyond ridiculous that folks in Evansville, IN area are still waiting for HD Locals from Dish. Direct has had them for over 2 years, maybe 3, I've lost count. Sheez!

You can pick big cities from around the country and say the same thing (or vice versa)

Dish is aiming to have all 210 within the next 2 years.

What I can't figure out is whether these were set to release at all or if they were, but the transponder issue pushed them back.

A wise man (clearly, not me) would say....what difference does it make? For all practical purposes (perhaps even theoretically, depending on your perspective) these two alternatives are indistinguishable.

A Dish press release (whether made publically or obtained by Scott behind-the-scenes) would be a good omen. Other than that it's just a (sometimes educated) guessing game.

Sure

Cool, maybe you'll be able to throw us a bone. I swear after they launch this set of channels, you won't hear any more from me, I'll be set!....I promise!.....really.

I'm so sure on that one. :haha

What makes it even worse for those of you in the Evansville, Quad Cities, and Paducah? markets is that they announced your markets availability on eastern arc quite some time back and then, soon after, abruptly did the Emily Latilla "nevermind" with no explanation as to why. All three markets are still uplinked to 77W as I recall, just not availabe to subs for whatever reason.

What???? No ESPNU HD AGAIN? Come on!

This.... I mean its stupid that DirectTV is pushing it out and Dish isn't... I'd give up a bunch of stupid HD channels for just this one. I sure hope it comes available before CFB season starts back up!! :rant:

Again there is a lawsuit between DISH and ESPN over ESPNU. You will not see the HD version until that lawsuit is settled.

Probably one station holding out in the negotiation of a deal with Dish.

I guess that probably means no ESPN3D either.
