Yes, QuetzSat-1 is scheduled to be launched in August 2011 on a Proton launch vehicle to the 77 W location. For U.S. customer it will only provide spotbeam coverage for locals.

I will never trust anything Dish says until I can tune to it. then again it's never stopped them from taking them away either
They need to add Duplicate Locals from 129 to 61.5 cause most of the East coast Locals are only on 129 which being so low on the horizon many things block it from getting picked up causing not only install problems but later LOS issues. I know many people around here that couldn't migrate from 61.5 to 129 cause of tree's so they are stuck losing out on not only HD locals but many other HD channels that they are paying for but no getting.
I hope that once they get the new sat in that they will be able to move the WA east coast channels over to it. And maybe let PR get a couple more so englishtycoon will shut up. 
Duh already know that, It was stated earlier in the thread. What I was referring to is that Fox isn't carried by D* in Lubbock. not E*. Read the post I replied to. It talks about D* having the locals in HD. There is an ad campaign in the area about that.

Yes. Throw the natives a bone to shut us up
Both Fox and ABC are a problem to me in HD(they are only 720p) thank goodness for Dish Network at least with my VIP722k/w MT2 it upconverts their 720p to 1080i.
Yeah I always prefer 1080i over 720p. Also, it seems like the picture on a 720p broadcast looks a little bit zoomed when you compare to a 1080i broadcast.
