LonC25,
Three things:
The EKB page you pointed out said PLANNED not promised.
With just about every listing of PLANNED cities on Dish Network Chats (both retailer and customer) they make sure to tell you that these are PLANNED cities and things could change if situations change.
They never PLANNED on having trouble with the signal to up-state Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. However, it looks like Lansing locals are still on the plate.
See ya
Tony
