This LIL map sucks. Did they abandon Texas for new HD locals? I guess they are waiting on new sats.

There are markets in TX uplinked (or at least provisioned to be uplinked). The map was horrible as far as acurately putting dots on markets. More likely they wanted to make the map look full, yet be inaccurate enough that you could not really pin them down on saying they were going to offer a specific market.
That question wasn't brought up, you will still have to move programs to the EHDD when the Dvr gets full...
It looks like Charleston WV HD locals have been dropped off the map as well and was probably due to AMC-14 being a failure.
The local stations here said Dish was going to put them up in June. KFDX was going to try to get the HD NBC feed this month.
Superstation or local? Selfishly I would like to see the local WGN HD, but I'll take either one.
That's what I thought but just reading the post above it sound like it wouldn't work.
Local Channel Map
Hello all, first actuall post, great site. Have question on the map that has the dots stated in beginning of thread. I went to dishnetwork.com and logged in but I do not see any map listing locals with dots, could someone please advise what page this info is on. Thanks in advance.

Those are screen grabs for the TV show "Tech Chat" that Dish airs from time to time (this time being May 12). It has been re-airing as well on channel 100. They're almost more accurate than anything on the website since it comes more direct from the horses mouth rather than from the jockey (aka the website). I believe in the first post they also describe what each color dots means. Also, as many of us have come to realize, all of the "soon" issues are subject to change.
The EKB version of the May 2008 Tech Forum Summary finally got posted 5 hours after the show ended. Too busy to let anyone know about it. Don, great job as always!
Thanks! and good job on yours as well 
I like the Dish vs Direct comparison that was up at the EKB with the extra touches as well (I gave up on putting up sound bytes as a lot happened yesterday )

You know, this is one thing that I don't think we've really discussed. They announced they will be increasing the fee (one time I know) for the External Hard Drive activation. Combine this with the DRM situation and it is becoming tougher and tougher to have anything on there (yes, I know DRM is not their doing).
Have we heard any reason why the increase? I didn't like the fact that they charge a price to begin with.
What about if you already paid for the EHD activation fee for the 622 and 722? Will they charge another $49.99 for the 211?
