DISH Network opens up HD locals in Hartford, CT / Portland, ME

by Darren Murph, posted May 8th 2008 at 2:33PM

This day last week, DISH Network brought HD locals to Norfolk, Virginia. Today, it's doing the same for Hartford-New Haven, Connecticut and Portland-Auburn, Maine. If you'll recall, neither of these two markets were included on DISH's master list of Spring rollouts, but for whatever reason, it's showing New England some serious love. No mention is made of what channels are being made available, so we'll cautiously assume that the Big Four (ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX) will be ready for viewing in glorious high-def.

I checked last night and on-line, they added the big 3 but no FOX, yet, I e-mailed them to see when, thanks for the heads up.

Why do I have a bad feeling that the master list is all lies and I will have to continue to watch my locals in LOW-DEF here in Grand Rapids, MI
