Who knows? It's like throwing raw meat to a pack of starving dogs.

They can't do that, in other words.

I am not protected by the OTARD rules in my situation. It states that I can put up a dish in an area that I have exclusive use of like a deck or patio, as long as the dish is entirely in my owned area. I don't have such an area. I have a railing 2 inches outside my sliding door, where if I mounted a dish on the railing it would hang over common property. The HOA has an agreement with an area Dish installer, and so they only allow for Dish installs on their rooftops.

I've talked to my lawyer and after reading the documents he agrees that I'm SOL on this one.

I posted this question (sort of) shortly after Scott posted the PR, but if my dish is not looking at 61.5 will I get all of the new HD stuff? I am near cleveland and currently do not get my locals in HD (wife not thrilled about 2nd dish on house and I don't want to argue).

Any insight?

Thanks

I live in central Connecticut (Meriden) and I don't get Comcast Sports Net New England. Last time I checked Connecticut is in New England. Anyone know why this is so. I am a huge Celtic fan and would love this years playoff coverage.

According to the uplink report; it is being assumed that these channels will be on both 61.5 and 129 (that is to say, if these are all the temp channels listed there - hard not to believe that is the case, but one still never knows until it is)

Really? Why would they do that?

The NBA playoff coverage is on ESPN, TNT and local channels(ABC).

I can understand others' interest in Speed & such from Fox. But they are of no interest to me. I think we've got all the available HD that is of any interest at all to me. So much so, I think I could probably do a search and find an HD show on "Chitlins- from animal to plate."

What we really need now is TRUE HD. And that is not in E*'s hands. The program providers need to upgrade their offerings.

But it's a start. Over the months and years, more and more of what's on the HD channels will really be HD.

Smithsonian AFAIK is true 24/7 HD.

I believe that MGM and Hallmark show movies in HD

So I have the 10 dollar HD package what new channels will I get? Any of these new ones hot yet? Thanks all!! Called dish to ask and the CSR had no clue about the new HD.
