OK, What got added today?

[IlliniChuck]

I can't make heads or tails of it. What local markets will see HD tomorrow? any national HD?

 

[rockymtnhigh]

Doesn't look like any national hd from that muddled list....

 

[IlliniChuck]

So NO HD locals added either? wow, I am going to run home and cry.

Oh well, no need to get upset like some crazies.

No, they uplinked them. I suspect the locals they added will go live this week, but I have learned never to predict.

Yea, I learned that lesson too. I figured Tampa would be available today, but according to the report, they have been changed to Fargo? Who needs to watch snow in HD?

 

[jansan]

Fargo #117 DMA!

 

[IlliniChuck]

I stand corrected?

Being out in the middle of no where has its advantages. A satellite company can point an antenna out in that direction and reuse the same TPs they use elsewhere without issue. In crowded areas like the NE they run out of capacity quickly on spots since there are so many markets close together.

Dish announce my market Wichita Falls coming in HD, same thing, not many markets around it to compete with my DMA for satellite capacity.
