As far as I know, So far, DirecTV is the only one who is definitely going to cary the service. I imagine
others would too.

NO, you've got it backwards. Dish is the only company supposedly carrying this service so far.

You sure? I'm positive that DirecTV is the only one carring TWC HD as of this moment.

I was talking about DISH....however, they are so competitive with each other THAT whatever one does, the other isn't far behind.

It also looked like you were talking about The Weather Channel iTV Service on channel 101, which launched quite some time ago.

Actually WXCANADAMAN, Dish has promised to have their little "I" pop up on the Weather Channel Station (#214 in my market)...when you click a button on your remote, it will show you YOUR version of "Local On The 8's"....

The Channel 101 deal is there, but only for the closest NWS station...which for some of us isn't quite good enough.

Yes, I am aware of that. How ever this is also, (key word, also) an applet running on channel 100, go to News > Then select "TWC Weather" It will take you to channel 214 (It's 214 nationwide) with the applet loaded.. Its not your LOT8s but it is still local information at your fingertips, you can also set upwards to 5 favorite locations of your choosing.

I have some screen shots of the LOT8s iTV testing.. Ill see if I can post them or not.
