Where is Dish Network on getting our LOCALS SD uplinked? I still don't have locals. Is there a schedule or is this all that will be uplinked?
What locals have been added?

by the looks of it, the UP of Michigan 
Which would be Marquette, MI
Well, the main reason is space
All the spotbeams that cover the UP (if there is one) are full
They probably would have put them at 105 until they found out originally 105 didn’t cover the whole US (Duluth, MN was the same way)
They are probably waiting for E10 to go up….or maybe put them on 129

Right now dish isn’t adding locals unless it’s on the 148 satellite. There really isn’t any room right now for Marquette DMA on the existing spotbeam satellites. Once E10 goes up, that will give Dish more spotbeams so they could add it then.
They couldn’t add it to 105 originally because of the satellite footprint (Marquette and Duluth were going to be on 105 originally. 105 didn’t reach that far north so Duluth was squeeeeeeeeezed onto 3 spotbeam TP’s on 110 and I guess Marquette was abandoned.
Also, Dish is trying to get ready to comply with the one dish rule for locals.
On a side note, I can pick up WMQF (Fox) with the FTA system : )
