St. Louis HD Locals

[MYNAMEHERE]

Got this from the AVS St. Louis forum...

KSDK-DT - 6455 on Tp24/119k
KTVI-DT - 6456 on Tp24/119k
KDNL-DT - 6453 on Tp20/119k
KMOV-DT - 6454 on Tp20/119k

Anyone know when this might be available, and if I need one of the newer dishes?

My question is when these become available, can we keep receiving the OTA HD signals if we are content with that or do we have to pay for the Dish HD locals?

If you subscribe to locals, and your EQ supports it, you get the HD Locals as part of the package.

But it will entail getting one of the new dishes (500+ or 1000+) as the HD locals are on the 118.75 (119K) sat. Does anyone know when these will be available, and will they be free to us that will need them to receive these local channels?

Just because they are currently uplinked on 118.75 does not mean that they will remain there when they become available to customers.

118.75 is being tested, so I wouldn't make too much of anything that's going on with it yet.

Cheers,
