Dish announced plans to add 5 more markets per month for the rest of 2006. The satellites used have not been announced but 61.5° and 129° have the most room.

Do we know yet which 5 cities will get their Local HD channels for the month of March??

The ones that are uplinked. Which would be: Albuquerque, Atlanta, Denver, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Salt Lake City

I live in the 12th or 13th largest market and we aren't even on the list for all of 2006! WTF?

 

[BFG]

probably because Verizon, BHN, Knology, and DirecTV are already in the markert, so Dish must've decided their base isn't strong enoguh there and skipped it

Is Sacramento already up or are they slated for April?

Add to that Washington DC which was uplinked only about an hour ago.

See ya
