So, I'm wondering what, if anything, Dish will offer as the free 30 days of Sling Blue gets close to expiring. Can I get another 30 days of Sling Blue? The antenna they sent me didn't receive either of my Tribune channels, but I'm using the amplifier it came with and another antenna I had on hand, which seems to work "sometimes". I know I need ultimately need to mount an outdoor antenna, but haven't had the time yet.
You'll see movement no later than the end of August. With CFB and the new fall season they will want to start getting paid from that new CW deal.

Not for me. WGN America is still replaced by a duplicate TNT on my guide. Also, I noticed that my CW channel is now gone completely. It was previously channel 919 in my guide, only available in SD, but up until recently, it was still there in the guide. Now it's gone and it's not even listed in the guide settings for me to put it back.
I don't see them putting wpix in the Super station only pack, and not the locals.
But you could always put up a screen shot.

233 doesn't exist for me. In the Favorite channels list, it goes from 231 RFDTV, 232 FMLYN and then jumps to 239 TNT (used to be WGN HD before the dispute).
Also, just as you said Troch, it's gone completely. I know because on the screen which shows all of my Favorite channels lists, it used to say "WROC, WHEC, WHAM and 217 more". Now it says "216 more" and I haven't added/removed any channels since a month ago. For the record, I have a H3 and I'm on America's Top 250 right now.
Same here, Top 250 and have NY locals.
No WPIX in my house.

As Superstations I have them all back.
So to answer my statement of a few hours ago about the dispute being so quiet for awhile, I guess it's that they are still negotiating. And it would appear Tribune has agreed to separate at least the Superstations from WGN so there's some progress.
I am actually more happy to see them back first even over my local because I was worried in the end they would not be back. Maybe someone changed their negotiating position?
Or as James Long speculated DISH decided to bring them back other than to the Markets they are in because they feel they can.

? I do still have them. Are people confusing the guide doesn't fully update right away?
