I have a question about these HD locals that we are suppose to received. I have a HR20 and a H20. The HR20 I was receiving my HD local via a HD rabbit ears type of antenna. The other receiver I get with an antenna outdoors. Now I am suppose to be receiving HD locals being broadcast from D*. The problem is if I disconnect the rabbit ears antenna, I then loose my Hd loacal station that I was watching. Am I doing something wrong? Any info that you can give me regarding this matter will be greatly appreciated.
We live in Roanoke and have the Fort Wayne locals on Dish, but the HD channels don't appear to have shown up on my system yet. Any idea why they would not have propagated to us? Do I need to do something to get them to show up?
Thanks!
Chris
Doh! Just realized that it's only DirecTV that has uploaded them. Guess I'll keep waiting on Dish.
Thanks for the update, I was wondering why they weren't showing all the channels in HD.
Well, waiting for HD to arrive here in EP really paid off..........
Any news of wether or not D is in negotions to get the UP of Michigan covered....Marquette, MI
No word, most of what they are doing now is adding HD to existing local markets. Tthey don't even have SD locals for the MI UP? Being DMA 180 is tough, I would not count on locals in the near future, SD or HD.
No, no SD locals yet either...thanks for the response...that is the answer I was expecting...
I called D* and they told me that they were broadcasting the HD local signal from CBS, NBC and Fox. The problem is I can' t get them. When I disconnect my antenna I get nothing. The person that I talked to had me go in a redo the satellite setup of and that did do any good. If you do receive the HD locals, you still can't get PBS. I don't know what the problem is.
Do you have the 5 lnb dish? Slimline dish? What are your signal strengths on the 99s and 103s satellite screen?
Signal sounds ok.
Are you paying for locals? What is your base package? Without locals would be something like Choice - No locals.

Yes, I am paying for locals. I get the sd locals with out any problems. As for the package I am getting what I think is called Choice Plus DVR plus HD. When I called the person asked for the signal strength, Wanted to send somebody out to readjust the satellite. I don't think that is the problem. The is I don't know what the problem is. You said that El Paso HD locals was on satellite 99 transponder 16 and I don't have a signal on that transponder. By the way thanks for your help.
The transponder is a different one on the screen. Some are moved around to appear in different spots, we think? The info that shows transponders for HD locals is just starting to come out, we never had anything until recently. unfortunately, it's not 100% accurate.
As for your individual problem, I am out of ideas.
