Charlie you've made my 36th birthday wish come TRUE, CW KTLA LA 5 in HD, now I can watch America's Top Model in HD. Wahooooooooooooo. NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
280 is not available for me, while 181 is available.
So, it might be only for certain subscribers.
It's not in the guide either, so it is either " (H) " or " (NA) ".
They show up on 5502 and 5503 in the middle of the spot beam HD's for AK and HI. They don't map to 122 (SCI-FI) or 105 (USA) for us in AK.
6310(5) - KTLA [MPEG4 HD] - EchoStar5 129W TP 10 ConUS beam changed to Available (H)
6334(2) - KWGN [MPEG4 HD] - EchoStar5 129W TP 02 ConUS beam changed to Available (H)
I'm assuming these are for the LiL only and not for superstation package subscribers right?
I just got off the phone with Dish Network. I was told that these two channels are supposed to come online tomorrow, Thu 10-30.

Channels uplinked on Wednesday are never available for new subscription until Thursday, so don't call Dish Network until then.
I think you are an existing customer. If you have a dish pointed at 129, according to the uplink report, you should have those locals now.I just got off the phone with Dish Network. I was told that these two channels are supposed to come online tomorrow, Thu 10-30.
Last night I activated a new 722, and mentioned Satelliteguys.us. The CSR, who was very helpful and knowledgeable BTW, told me he ALWAYS checks Satelliteguys every day before coming to work, so that he knows what to expect on the job. I asked him if he ever posted here, but he said that he did not.That goes to show all of us, that the CSR's are always behind. SatelliteGuys.us is the most up to date info. site on the planet.
Re: SciFi HD & USA HD available in Alaska & Hawai'i: I've had the Alaska HD pack for about 16 months now, and unless I'm mistaken, these are the first new HD channels since I've subscribed. Thanks Charlie!
I see they have removed 6205 and 6207, HBO and SHO. Have they gone Mpeg 4 or whats the deal as i do not have an Mpeg 4 receiver.
I would say the channel numbers and map down numbers give that away.
