The Dish April 1st New HD Saga (Merged Threads)

[tinydoughboy]

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.

Just go ahead and post the thread, I have a bad feeling about thiss.....

A reply on twitter to my question on National HD channels said to keep watching for updates. Promising.

Well, I definitely don't think we'll hear any news on National HD today as the last local HD market announcement from Dish's Twitter said that was "wrapping up HD Tuesday". And not hearing any news on National HD after all this fuss over the locals makes me believe we're not going to see anything. We'll see.

Are you saying don't get my hopes up?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

No I am not saying that, I am just saying how many times will you keep checking the Twitter feed tonight looking for an update?

 

[lawn wrangler]

Sioux City, IA is getting ABC, CBS and FOX

Albany GA is getting FOX.

no nbc for sioux city, according to @dishnetwork on twitter

I'll say it! Don't get your hopes up! sorry!

Probably not much until morning, actually. May check once before calling it a night, but the kids will make sure I'm distracted.

Actually, I just figured there wouldn't be an announcement til morning since they rounded things out with the Tucson announcement.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I am guessing there won't be an announcement until they are actually turned on.

 

[wetz73]

I bet if you asked, "When will History HD be available?" you'd get, "Keep watching for updates!"

 

[BrownHound]

Hahaha! As long as they are my locals in Roanoke/Lynchburg!!!

Now that is funny..... .hilarious.

Are you guys certain that the person on twitter is really from Dish Network? It's awfully close to April Fool's Day...

The Dish Network Twitter has been going on for months now, and has announced the HD locals/previews and such before they have actually taken place, so it is legit. Also, they do a good amount of customer service through the Twitter, and try to help people with issues. You can check it out yourself without having Twitter here:

It won't be me, E* said April 1st. So there is no excuse if they don't launch.

I'll set the over/under at a dozen (the rest of us will be sleeping! )

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

A riot for sure...but anyone who says they'd actually be surprised by national HD not being added or turned on tomorrow, is either lying, or hasn't been paying attention!

 

[HDRoberts]

Rounding out #HDTuesday...Also in Tucson...KGUN (ABC), KVOA (NBC) and KMSB (FOX) light up in high-def tomorrow

That doesn't sound promising.

Can't wait for the riot tomorrow around 2PM.
