So does anyone know what is up with locals yet? Will it be for a market that is short networks like for instant Lake Charles, LA doesn't have FOX yet. And another city is Bluefield, WV I think it's missing ABC. Will the person get west coast feed or east coast feed? Since both LA and NY are on Eastern Arc.

if there is a retrans disagreement Dish by law cannot give you another of that network. In those 2 cases there is a retrans agreement issue

Interesting that a local cable news channel (Northwest Cable News) got added. Guess Belo Corp strongarmed Dish to carry

also this is interesting

Did Dish get back in the distant game?

yep. I noticed Portland is the only market that wont have it. The 3 Washington markets and a couple in Oregon

i was told by dish answers on facebook that they will be working to get fearnet hd and hub hd, i dunno if its true or not

I would love hub hd since losing Disney hd last year resulted in only two hd kids channels that go off too early for grown up programs.

Agree.

 

[Willh699]

if Dish is carrying one regional news network owned by Belo, does this mean Dish might end up being the first Satellite provider to carry Belo's TXCN. if so, i wouldn't mind them adding this since it's a news channel that shows newscast from all four Belo O&O in Texas, which includes KENS in San Antonio, KVUE in Austin, KHOU in Houston and of course the local ABC station in my TV market of the DFW Metroplex, WFAA, Belo's flagship station.

All in your point of view I guess. I have no idea which channel has a larger audience. I do not watch either very often. In fact I have only sen OWN once and that was because a program had an intriguing title.

cartoon network is not for kids after 7pm or 8pm

Weird that Portland won't have it, since they report on Portland stuff too...

I didn't know Cartoon Network showed X-rated videos after 7 or 8.

 

[Bobby]

Not for kids does not always relate to X-rated...... That's why we have PG, MA, R, etc....

 

[patrick80639]

I didn't know Cartoon Network showed X-rated videos after 7 or 8.

Alot of it is rated MA at night.

 

[gpollock87]

Alot of it is rated MA at night.

yeah it is

And yet you still continue to look at and post in Dish uplink reports...

I resubbed to Dtv for 1 channel MLB. Say what you want about DISH, but I watch Dtv for MLB and for everything else I watch DISH. I've also noticed that the HD version of the games (JIP) are coming thru much better than last year...so, improvement there too.

I would call neither significant, but considering we don't get RFD-HD in Hawaii, only OWN, it was the only example I could give off the top of my head.

Like I said too early for the kids cutoff especially the ones that live in the CT or PT time zone. Nick cut off even earlier. Disney is a 24/7 kids channel but we no longer get it in HD. At least give us the Hub in HD which is a 24/7 kids channel. I know there is not much HD on there but it is still way better than adding the other Discovery channel OWN which I did not or ever will watch even in HD.
