My only concern with getting Flint/Saginaw/Bay City Locals in HD is I've heard they are horrible on either DirectTV or Charter, cant remember. I just hope that doesnt translate to Dish when then finally launch those channels in the next 5 years

I can watch Sci-Fi in HD all I want.. The only thing I want from Dish is my locals in HD.. And I haven't seen one word from Dish on Mobile, Al locals.. So I guess I will just keep on waiting.. Now there are other national HD channels that I want. Right now, I don't care which provider adds them. But from a business standpoint, I love Dish, and just want them to get on the ball so I can get back to selling them.. Been a little tough to get a customer to pick them over D* lately..
I am beginning to think that the only HD excitement this week is these threads. Unbelievable how much time has been wasted on the senseless hope that there would be new HD this week.
If the guys at Dish are watching, shouldn't this tell them something about the intense interest? Shouldn't it tell them something when people who have been with their service for five, ten years are thinking about leaving over this?
For me, at least, it's not about the lack of new HD, it's about the lack of transparency. I would really like to get a new HD box. But I am not up for the committment until I know more. Just tell us something.
BAck to work. Nothing to see here.
Tell me about it. I have been saying for the past two years to move the internationals on to one bird. 118.7 is that bird. Move the LILHD onto 61.5 and 148. Use those as your LIL HD source to the wings, National HD should be at 129, 105 or 121. Sense 105 and 121 is out of the picture momentarily, you could easily launch all of your nationals over at 129.
Realistically, the eastern arch is a good idea since they are in this bind. So for now for maximum penetration they can do what they are doing but in the mean time they need to throw some bones out there for the boneheadedness that they have been going through the past 6 months.
I think the question we should ask is about the flag changes... What is happening here?

118.7 has been in operation on Dish for less then a year.
The Eastern Arc is something they have been working on for over a year.

New free preview channels. Should be available to everybody for a few weeks. It'll be nice to have History Intl. back for a while.
What is the DNSC???
Do
Not
Send any new National
Channels in HD to customers under any circumstances
I hope so.
A web search on "hot news anchor" produced this one from Albuquerque, Lauren Sanchez:

Finally, HD locals in my area (Orlando)! I can't wait to get home. I am sorry for you folks whose HD content didn't increase with these changes, but I am a very happy camper.The wait has been very long.
Thank you Dish!!
Thank you Dish!!
Lets keep on topic guys, try not to fill this thread with pictures of girls or talk of Reporters
The biggest question is, "How much did Charlie pay Tricia Helfer to promote the BSG season premiere on Charlie Chat only to not make SciFi HD available for it even though it has been uplinked for over 3 months?"
Yes, this is actually weird. They are already up there according to the EKB, on that SAME transponder, and all ACTIVE... Digi or JohnH, any idea what is going on with that?
118.7 was launched April 12th, 2007I know I've been getting Intl's from 118.7 for over a year.
