Bob,

So the STL Locals are available from 119K but only a select few with K-band capability at 118.7 can pick them up.

Arrggh.

Cheers,

yeah, great. damn detroit HD locals. would be wonderful if there was equipment for us to see them.

the camel's back is slowling breaking...

 

[jcrandall]

Don't look now, but isn't Detroit NBC MISSING? Just great - No equipment, only 3 channels, what else could they screw up on this!

 

[BFG]

several markets are missing a local because dish and that station have not yet come to an agreeable retransmission price

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I hear DishStore got a small shipment of Plus Dishes today, however since they are in Detroit they are giving area customers the first chance at them since Detroit HD locals are now available.

so I guess there is no chance for those to be on Dish?? ?? They've been uplinked for a while now

 

[kenny911]

Nobody seems to have an answer but what about people like myself in Detroit who want HD locals, is Dish giving us a free upgrade??

 

[John Kotches]

Kenny:

Those of us in STL would like to know too.

Cheers,

 

[nazz]

And those of us in the Indy market would like to know why our uplinks aren't progressing like these others.

 

[Smith P.]

lets put more pressure to Bob and the channels will pop up daily

Why am I not getting my St. Louis local HD???? I upgraded to the 622 a couple of weeks ago, and my check switch screen says I'm okay at 119, 110, and 129. I'm able to get StarzHD, VOOM, and all that stuff. My channel list does not display the 6### range where the HD locals should be. It goes from 611 to 8###. When I manually key in 6453 it says I need a subscription, but I already subscribe to the local channels. Can anyone tell me why I cannot watch these new local HD channels? I have two dish's, and I know one of them is a 500.

I dont know anyone here in W. Michigan that has a 148 dish, so I'm not surprised they are gone. WXSP is a low power UPN, and WZPX is the local PAX channel. Not much to be missed really.

you will actually have to get one of the new 500+ dishes to replace your current 500, because E* put those locals on another satellite at 118.7 location. Only the new "plus" dishes can see the new 118.7 location.

 

[BFG]

He'll need a Dish 1000+

500+ are only for people getting internationals and not HD

Yeah, other than a few regional sports games on WXSP exclusively there isn't much we're missing. I watch the X now and then though and wish it was on dish and I am sure there are some that wish WZPX was on there too.

Hey wait Kirby, didn't you have a 148 dish for a bit? I might be confusing you with someone else though.

If you already had a seperate dish for 129, though, wouldn't you just add a 500+? (just curious...not arguing)
