If you read other articles, and posts in this thread, you'll find that many people subscribe to HD services on cable, and still don't understand it. Quote from the commercial: " 1080i - I don't know what it is, but I want it ! "Sorry, but that article actually supports what Jason said: Of those surveyed who have an HDTV, 56% subscribe to an HD service.
This was uplinked last month:
5068 - KHCW [MPEG4 HD] added to Echostar12 61.5 TP 13 Spotbeam 3? (Not Available)
That is the CW Houston Affliate.

Yes, it shows uplinked and not available, that means the CW is NOT available. That was the question, does E* carry the CW in HD and I haven't see where it's show as being available.
Woo Hoo!! Another satellite for us to not get any new HD from!!John's report picked up:
ADD NEW TID 901 8PSK SR 21500 FEC 2/3
So we now have 72W in the Point Dish screen.
Au Contraire, Mon Frere!My theory is they wanted to launch a set number of LILs first. It is also that they wont do both LILs and Nationals on the same uplink day.
Based on what we've been told it seems very liekly we'll see scifi and usa next week. I'm hoping with the delay we may see something else as well.
But in the end, I'm just a fool and I know nothing. Just my own thinking.

Right, and my question is why? Is it the same rigamorale as why we don't have new national HD? Some contract mumbo jumbo, or some deep seeded hatred of "Supernatural" and "Reaper."

I live in the middle of the Charlotte DMA. I know it says not available, but should I not see a signal on TP 11. I show zero. I have a clear shot at 61.5 and strong signals on the TP I do get. I have looked at a couple of spotbeam maps of 61.5 and it shows Area 7 as being in TX or something.
i wish they could just use a national feed for the big 4/5 networks so there wouldnt be any redundancy on the sats. 7:00pm - 10pm weekdays are the only time local networks have HD and when they do they all show the same content the locals in any other city is showing, why waste all that bandwidth. With a nantional feed you wouldn't have to worry about 'markets'. the only advantage of having each market is for local news, but most local stations don't have HD capability. as far as i'm concerned they should use a national HD feed to suplement the local SD feeds
