Wish they would release a rollout calendar or something, so those of us on the list of the first cities would at least have an idea of some kinda timeframe yanno??

That would be great, I am in cleveland market (#16 I believe, and would love to know, as my parents are waiting till then to upgrade~)

Just to make note of it. The Universal HD "Mpeg4" has moved from 129 to 110 on channel 9427. Of course, it really is Mpeg2, but this will give all HD receivers access.

 

[BFG]

weird that they moved it, maybe they didn't want to waste another encoder running the same channel. But they still have the 2 channels set up?

Perhaps a good sign that they leave two empty locations (number wise) between markets. Could be an indicator of WB (CU future) or PBS in there up the road...

they have done that for all the locals.. but the big question is will echostar pick up independants in hd.. for instance... here in chicago.. we get abc,cbs,nbc,fox,WGN (WB, CW) and PBS but.... WCIU will air bulls, whitesox, and cubs games in HD sometime starting this springtime. Also with WPWR upn, that one is still up in the air from the merger. That station is also in full hd

Right now it is (also) on 61.5

When will it be made available to us poor Mpeg-2 souls? Will it be up 24/7 or only when Olympic programming is running?
