So, back on 2/11/2009 these were added:
5250(18) - KWYB [MPEG4 HD] added to Ciel-2 129W TP 05 Spotbeam 12 (NA)(Butte, MT-ABC)
5251(4) - KXLF [MPEG4 HD] added to Ciel-2 129W TP 05 Spotbeam 12 (NA)(Butte, MT-CBS)
5252(6) - KTVM [MPEG4 HD] added to Ciel-2 129W TP 05 Spotbeam 12 (NA)(Butte, MT-NBC)
5253(24) - KBTZ [MPEG4 HD] added to Ciel-2 129W TP 05 Spotbeam 12 (NA)(Butte, MT-FOX)

But in this update, on the following were activated:
5250(18) - KWYB [MPEG4 HD] - Ciel-2 129W TP 05 Spotbeam 12 changed to Available (H)(Butte, MT-ABC)
5251(4) - KXLF [MPEG4 HD] - Ciel-2 129W TP 05 Spotbeam 12 changed to Available (H)(Butte, MT-CBS)
5252(6) - KTVM [MPEG4 HD] - Ciel-2 129W TP 05 Spotbeam 12 changed to Available (H)(Butte, MT-NBC)

Fox was not activated. Any insight? Is it our local Fox affiliate (KBTZ) dragging their feet? The SD feed is particularly bad for Fox. It would be nice to get the HD feed up.

First, bumping doesn't work in this forum.

And what are you talking about? KNWA shows available on this report.

yes i know the channel was uplinked to dish, but they did not have the correct feed to collection center in fort smith, at&t had a hold up on the fiber feed from KNWA. today is the first time it has been in actually HD, it had been a SD feed on a HD channel. so glad it is in HD now!
