Holy crap!!!! I'm not even on the list and we are ranked 84th DMA the US. And Podunk Mississippi ranked 184th is getting HD???????

 

[djjenkins]

Idaho Falls is getting ABC and NBC in HD tomorrow, just announced

DMA #80 feels your pain. At least our antennas are in the same spot.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

And now Cheyenne, WY / Scottsbluff, WY will be getting Fox and CBS.

 

[JRiz]

C'mon Roanoke!!!!

 

[jlfarris]

Cheyenne/Scottsbluff? Come on Dish....just creep a little farther east and give Lincoln/Kearney their Fox station in HD.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Ok two more just came up..

Sioux City, IA is getting ABC, CBS and FOX

Albany GA is getting FOX.

And why is it so hard for Dish to add all locals in HD, they are already uplinked!

 

[jlfarris]

Almost every DMA around Lincoln/Kearney will have their Fox affiliate in HD. Dammit. They all get Jack Bauer in HD now.

Not true...

There might be slots up there for all the channels, however not all those spaces have channels being broadcat to them.

A lot of placeholders up there without actual channels.

Bloom, KS locals in HD will also go live tomorrow.

WGBC is NBC and WGBCD is FOX the same company owns both and OTA they are both in HD but FOX is the subchannel.

Tucson is getting HD locals also...twitter feed said that rounded out HDTuesday. I've asked about National HDs.

 

[djjenkins]

WOOOOOOO Tucson is getting all 4 majors in HD tomorrow!!! Finally! VERY happy with Dish right now.

Here's hoping for the other national HD tomorrow as well! (that would be a bummer if they didn't come through with that)

That looks like all of the April 1 locals except Gainesville. That sucks. Well maybe they'll show up tomorrow anyway.

Erie was due in March. Seeing all these other towns getting them- I'm gettin' kinda pizzed.

If they don't add national HD tomorrow I think there could be a riot.

I will make sure to reboot the servers tonight to be able to handle the rush just in case they are not added.

Same here with Roanoke.
