oh so I guess people aren't allowed to post anymore? People are sick of people like you saying people are annoying you.
Meanwhile STFU.
Whining and crying about a channel on a message board is a waste of time LEAVE DISH NETWORK and they might get the message they are missing important channels ..$$$$$$ talks
I would rather see someone complain about a channel not being uplinked than you complaining about them complaining.
WPGA is actually changing to RTV (retro TV Network) and dropping ABC
On January 1, 2010, WPGA-TV will discontinue its ABC affiliation and become an independent. Owner Lowell Register said that ABC's programming had become too racy for his liking, and was also upset that ABC wanted to be paid to air its programming. [1] Former ABC affiliate WGXA would take the affiliation on a digital subchannel, in addition to Fox.[

Mele Kalikimaka to you as well!
My brain hurts when I try to figure out what's happening. On top of everything else, at 129 we used to get the channels in an even numbering sequence (5550, 5552, etc.) in Hawaii, while Alaska was assigned the odd numbers (5551, 5553, etc.) We in HI are now getting the odd numbers as well at the 129 spot and our even numbers are moving to 110 conus. Some of those at 110 are now being removed.
Are they just using the 110 conus transponders temporarily to do a channel numbering switcheroo in Hawaii, while setting us up with mapdowns to avoid the channel number switch headaches in the future?
I'm felling dizzy. The main point is that I better remember to redo all my timers for the new channel mapdowns.
BTW, Thank you Dish for MSNBC HD in Hawaii.
HGTV not in HD in Hawai'i following mapdown
By "forgot to turn HGTV on", do you mean in HD? As of last night, now that HGTV is mapped down to 112 we (Hawai'i) seem to have lost it in HD like we had it when it was up in the 5xxx's. We watched it on 112 last night in SD.
I'm new to reading these reports, so perhaps I'm missing something; however, other channels that have been mapped down recently are available in HD.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

Are you using a favorites list? 112HD might not be selected in your list setup, just a thought. i've hidden channels from myself on my system and just found some. hope it works out for you all who aren't on the mainland.
For some reason, they flagged it "Not Available", so we can't get it until they re-flag it "Available".

Precisely...I figured it would just be fixed later in the day, but apparently not. Maybe tomorrow...
That's Lowell's story, and he's sticking to it (but it may not necessarily be the truth)
WPGA-TV is already available via DISH in the Macon DMA, but is possibly under retrans consent... which opens the door to DISH dropping them come 1/1/10. That may be the reason for moving them to 110.
WGXA will take the ABC affiliation, claiming they'll provide it in 720p along with the Fox 720p. We shall see, OTA.
No word yet on whether DISH will carry the new "ABC 16" in the Macon DMA. The channel hasn't yet been lit up OTA, and since DISH uses a single OTA receive point in the market, it's not possible to uplink it.
I would rather complain about you complaining about them complaining about Dish complaining...oh nevermind. :rant:
WPGA won't make anybody happy come 2010. ABC and WPGA are going their separate ways, WPGA going indie and ABC going to WGXA-DT2. (When will THAT appear on Dish?)
Nobody'll care about WPGA, except a few die hards loving their Knight Rider reruns.
WGXA-DT2 isn't up yet, and WGXA-DT isn't viewable OTA here lately (both the TV tuner and 722k tuner have trouble with it... 722k didn't, but it does now).
It'll be interesting to see the result of 2 HD signals on a single 19 mb/sec stream. I hope the stat mux works out very well, so I don't have to do the antenna work to bring in out of market Fox and ABC.
19 meg a second, eh? You forgot to take out the audio streams, other tables, null packet padding, etc. I've seen two stations that do dual HD streams... I'm glad I do not live in those markets. Absolute garbage.
