2012 New HD Local Launches

[Mr Tony]

Closest to Mexico

TP1. none
TP2. Amarillo
TP3. Lake Charles, LA

Just because you get signal on a spotbeam that doesnt mean the spotbeam is actually being used. TP1 the closest city to TX is Huntsville, AL

CW Montgomery, Alabama is now in HD on channel 22. DirecTV was quick with this one as it just went HD a month ago.

Nobody knows when Bend, Oregon will FINALLY receive local channels? Apparently if you are in 97701 (in crook county) you get locals but not in Dechutes.

I'm personally in 97707, they better not skip my area. I'm technically in "Bend" and live in Dechutes County.

 

[Mr Tony]

They still say 2012 on the D* site so hopefully soon

 

[Mr Tony]

[Mr Tony]

[Mr Tony]

[Mr Tony]

Rumor is Lansing launched...can someone confirm?

Will be nice next time I visit a local pub, no more local football in SD while it is HD at home.

[Mr Tony]

Anyone know about Atlanta's ION? Occasionally I would see the ION East channel but that's gone & the local is standard.

Thanks

 

[Mr Tony]

Tune to 305...its in HD

Tune to 305...its in HD

Not subscribed...what's funny is I think at times - including once with a free trial/or maybe when it first went HD - at times it shows up.

I can't remember for sure but it seems like I actually had the dual(local &national) ION before it went HD, but didn't have the West feed.

I have Select

Three markets still to launch this year:

Bend OR
Fargo-Valley City ND
Twin Falls ID

Lima OH delayed to 2013 with no hints like Q1.

These are the markets left with no Directv HD locals that aren't slated for 2012:
Lima, OH
Bowling Green, KY
Charlottesville, VA
Grand Junction, CO
Cheyenne, WY/Scottsbluff, NE
Casper/Riverton, WY
San Angelo, TX
Ottumwa IA/Kirksville, MO
Zanesville, OH (currently SD only)
Alpena, MI
Glendive, MT
Helena, MT
North Platte, NE
Presque Isle, ME
Victoria, TX

They start filling in those smaller markets (some of which are less than 4 stations with NY/LA feeds for the missing ones already in place) and they could promoted locals nation-wide.

I forgot to update that Fargo launched last week
