If you are I want to recommend two forums where you can check in to see the latest news. I've been following them for a while because I'm waiting for my locals to be offered in HD. These sites monitor the satellite uplinks and updates so they know ahead of time what's coming (soon). They also can tell when new channels are being added, or taken away. A lot of the technical discussion is over my head, but there's plenty that I do understand.
