DISH Network launching HD locals in South Bend, Indiana?
Last we checked, South Bend, Indiana wasn't on DISH Network's master list of cities to receive HD locals in April or May, but sure enough, it seems as if the locale will be joining that exclusive club after all. According to a resident, DISH sent out an email informing him that HD locals "were available in his area," and while he's yet to contact the satcaster to verify, it does match up with some lingering reports from earlier this month that South Bend could be launched soon. So, any other locations finding HD locals from DISH right out of the blue?[Thanks, Josh]
Update: Seems DISH may have pulled a trigger too early here. We'll keep listening to see if South Bend really is one of the next in line to get HD locals. Thanks, Jason!

I live in the South Bend area and received this email as well but found out that South Bend will not be getting HD locals anytime soon. There was a link in the email that laid out the time frames for certain cities to get HD locals but South Bend was not included in that list. I called Dish to verify and they informed me that South Bend is not scheduled for HD locals and they could not give me a time frame as to whe it would be.

I got the same e-mail and currently have Rochester locals on dish. Buffalo is on the list, but last I checked I could only get locals from Syracuse or Rochester.
