Not showing 5183 in my guide.

 

[mdonnelly]

Thought the first three were lit up Wednesday.

 

[Eva Greczkowski]

I seem to remember Scott saying something about that.
I'm sure he will chime in sooner or later.

 

[tkwasny]

Called back the office and there is an unspecified problem with FOX 5183

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Those lit up on Wednesday.

FOX 61 is not lit up because Dish is still in negoations with Tribune who owns FOX 61.

 

[TV_Freak]

I thought the 61 deal was done?

 

[petrozio]

Any progress on the Hartford FOX issue?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Look for an announcement between Dish and Tribune in a few weeks.

Thanks for that nice piece of information there, Scott.

I hope it means a deal that lights up FOX 61 in HD!!:up

 

[petrozio]

Sweet! Hope it's good news. Thanks Scott!

Just out of curiosity, If E* already carries FOX in SD, Why are there issues with HD? It's the same channel/content...

So is it true from tonights Charlie Chat - we now have WTIC in HD? when will it go live if true?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

It will go live on Wednesday before 5pm

 

[Wrangler3383]

Woohoo!!! I think I will be happy for a while now
