New HD Locals

[sullivbt]

I might have missed it somewhere in the CES announcements, but does anybody know what bird(s) the new batch of HD locals are going to come off of?

Currently, I get the Richmond,VA locals off of 110 (I get HD locals using an OTA antenna) and my dish setup consists of two Dish 500's (one pointed at 110 and 119, and the other dish with only a single LNBF pointing at 61.5 for HD). I don't know how I could get this setup to work if I had to add another dish to point at yet another satellite.

Nobody can be sure yet but I would bet Richmond ends up on 61.5 just like many other eastern cities.

Well....

that would definitely work for me, so I hope you're right. I thought I remember reading something on these boards, though, about how 61.5 was already pretty much "maxed out" for TP bandwidth.

I am interested to see if they move RSNs to 61.5 if thats were they put the HD locals (for example Clevelands 2 RSN are on 129 right now, if they put our HD locals on 61.5 I would hope they would also put our rsns on there too, and heres to hoping it comes soon!)
