Lexington, KY HD LIL info

[KyDave]

I saw this pdf letter posted on our NBC affiliate's website. They are bickering with TWC over carriage disputes.

Anyway, the last sentence in this letter basically indicates that E* and D* will be adding their HD local channel in the next several weeks.

Great news, especially for our Fox affiliate (assuming they are included) that broadcasts their digital on channel 4 - a real PIA to receive.

:up

Now I wonder how long 'several weeks' is?

Hopefully not the same "few weeks" as they took for name-based recording on the 50x models. That was like two years ago and still nothing.

:haha

Well, on behalf of DMA #63 - I sure as &^%* hope not!

It states you can connect an antenna to the E* or D* box to receive HD.

As a new subscriber, when can I expect D* to add Lexington locals? My HR21 does not have OTA.

Lexington KY HD Locals

Just upgraded a receiver on Friday and the installer told me that they had been told that HD locals would be activated by 08/01/08. I also had a new channel (75) appear in my guide for a few days (it is now gone) stating that HD local were being added in my area. Keep your fingers crossed.

HD locals in Lexington would be truly surprising, since there has been no yellow fuzz-ball on the expansion map for central KY on the charlie chats (in a while).

But if true, it would make my day.

Thanks for the encouragement anyway.

In what may be weird but true, the cited pdf letter from Ch. 18 says "without the need for an antenna..."

So we'll see.

P.S.: KyDave, thanks for the link.

Lexington, KY surely wouldn't be added before Louisville, KY..................woud they?????

South Bend IN was added before Indianapolis, so yeah, they probably would.

 

[gdarwin]

They might do it... Louisville has been off the list for a long time.

Well I hope you guys get it! Hopefully someday Dish will hook Paducah, KY up with some HD Locals. Direct added them like a month before I went to Dish. Oh well hopefully I'll get something by the time the next season of The Office starts!

 

[KyDave]

Well, so far the 'next several weeks' quoted in the above letter has been 63 and counting......

 

[BatteryDude1975]

I hope just as much as anyone that Lexington,Ky gets locals in HD "soon". If we had HD locals then I would be happy with what I have, but, did you notice the date on the pdf ? Its dated "May of 2007". I believe those several weeks have passed. UGH! Come on Dish get Lexington Ky locals, PLEASE!

 

[Fitzie]

Well, dude, I missed the "07" part--just looked at May! Thanks for the catch.
