Well today is the July 18 and my fears grow that Roanoke HD locals will get pushed back about 2 weeks left. Please D*dont push them back.

It's great that some of Mississippi will finally get locals in HD. Too bad it's not my part of Mississippi. Patience!

 

[Blasto65]

Well 7 days and counting for Roanoke HD locals I get the feeling its not going to happen.

 

[gonzalo8575]

Have they uplinked the channels yet?

 

[Blasto65]

I wish I new how to find out if they have uplinked

 

[Blasto65]

4 days and counting I am thinking not going to happen

I live in Salem and am anxiously awaiting also. I read in another forum that it was going to be the 29th. Direct has traditionally launched these on Wednesday's, so that would make sense, not sure how reliable the source was though. I guess we'll know tommorow.

 

[Blasto65]

I live in Rocky Mount just south of Roanoke I am hoping with all hope they do light up the channels.

 

[bertjo44]

They did it......all six too!!!! I can actually start watching the networks more. Lost, Heroes, Smallville not to mention football all in HD this year. Woohoo!!!!

 

[jcrandall]

As Bertjo pointed out, Roanoke VA launched SIX HD Locals today (impressive - all 6):

CW WWCW 5
CBS WDBJ 7
NBC WSLS 10
ABC WSET 13
PBS WBRA 15
FOX WFXR 27

 

[Ramy]

Anyone know which channels the Huntington/Charleston, WV will be put up?

 

[Blasto65]

I am at work now but I am so happy. I can not beleave they turned on all 6 stations that is great. I am a happy man now.
