I'm 25+ miles from the towers in a suburb and pick them all up with a Zenith Silver Sensor sitting on top of my TV.
Not many people in the Austin area have a problem getting HD channels OTA.
Still, it is a good thing. :up

CSRs are already giving more specific dates for the June ones, so I think Phoenix is pretty safe.
14 more markets announced for 3rd quarter.
More markets
EDIT: Just saw the other big thread. I found it strange it wasn't in this sticky. Sorry about that.

I heard a rumor of may 23rd for phoenix. They don't generally reveal the specific dates for the next month this soon. I can't guarantee all of the networks will go live on the same day though.

That date makes sense since it is a Tuesday and that is when D* usually launches new channels/services. I hope that D* also comes out with the SlimLine dish soon.
