The photos from the thread on the dish booth should include one of the map of HD LOCALS. If not, I will upload it later.
Thanks.

The other thread mentioned a "price freeze."
They are raising the prices now, then "freezing" them for a year until they raise them again next February?
Did they really say something like this?
They sure did. I really needed the laugh. I can't believe they actually said that. "We're enacting a price freeze until our next scheduled price increase." essentially. Classic.
The price freeze is for the DVR Advantage packages, the same price for 2008 as in 2007, what part do people not understand it?
Has anyone heard which order they plan to launch these satellites? I know it is one per quarter, but haven't heard which order. (I can't wait for them to dump the current piece of junk at 129!)The 3 new sats to be launched are AMC-14, E11 and Ciel-2. AMC-14 is going to 61.5 (as was recently reported on SatGuys), E11 to 110 and Ciel-2 to 129.
I wonder if the new OTA DVR will have a monthly subscription attached to it???
...The interesting thing to me was that they are planning to sell the TR-40 at a loss, doesn't make any sense to me.
Looks like Norfolk might be on the 100 locals picture. Hard to tell since Richmond is so close.
I've read elsewhere that both products will use TVGOS the free ad supported gemstar guide. Its easier to support because all the guide data can be downloaded from a single channel, usually PBS.

Maybe not-- does it give them capability to showcase and get information (i.e. advertising" to the large section of America that does not have SAT service??
Yep! Has a USB port,the CNet video shows the backpanel. Don't know about the 211 thing though.Hmm... I wonder if the TR-50 has a USB port? Could be just the thing to pair up with a 211 receiver to turn in to a full-fledged DVR. You don't suppose...??
If these 3 sats are going to existing orbital slots, where is the bandwidth gain?
Spotbeams baby! Re-usable bandwidth.
