I Was surprised to see Springfield, Mo on the HD LIL list, do they say what the time table will be for the HD LIL's?

As I mentioned in the caption of the picture, maybe they are doing some lower markets in HD since they only have to put up 1 or 2 channels, and therefore they can say they are covering a market (i.e. for advertising purposes) with less bandwidth. So, if the bottom 10 markets only have 1-2 of the major networks in HD, then they can cover those markets with say 15-20 HD channels instead of the 4 per market needed for the larger DMAs not being covered?

I love the picture of the Dish video wall where it says "Finally delivering on the promise of HDTV"

and there's nothing on any of the screens.

Yeah, Dish is really stretching here to keep up with D**** just throwing up the lil locals and the voom channels and trying to get the new recievers out the door! Kinda like well we built 40 trailers, but they don't have wheels on them yet! But in thei defense at lease there doing something!

I was surprised to see that myself. I read somewhere that Springfield MO. has one of the most saturated areas per capita for dish. More people in Springfield actually have dish network then local cable, maybe dish is throwing them a bone for being so loyal.

Not sure if this is the right place but here goes...


Since Scotts photo of the video wall was a day early before it was up and running, here is heavily compressed clip of the video wall with all HD channels playing on the monitor. I shot this today as I walked into the E* booth to meet the satelliteguys for Scotts tour of the new DVR's and HD receivers (MP40 compatible.
