The square one appears to be feed hunting on a secret orbit:confused:

I want to win an Edision OS Mio 4k with The North America Project image I have been out of the FTA game lately and this would get all the channels that my old CNX receiver is missing.

It just shows you how much I watch fox when I noticed in the guide on channel 7108 "WXXA removed FOX 23". Both sides are blaming the other for the outage so it doesn't appear there will be a solution anytime soon. Dish says the solution is an antenna and I agree its time to drop the Welcome Pack...

Are the Albany channels going to remain on the Western Arc in standard def? I have been putting off the upgrade because I didn't want to deal with an installer and having to move my dish setup to see EA satellites. Well today I have been getting calls from 8666688047 and finally decided to...

Thanks guys for the info. Hopefully this topic is useful to someone else. I almost picked up a 311k for cheap but it would have been worthless if I wanted to get my locals. On the Dish 500 note I know of a strange set up where the person has two dish 500s with legacy LNBs. One dish points to...

So now that a bunch of old technology is going away in the next two months, what can be activated on the eastern arc? From what I understand the 311k might not work on the eastern arc or is that not true. Also will a Dish 500 have no value after transition to eastern arc?

"Given that lower-cost alternatives to receive PBS broadcasts are available to current big dish households, Congress should repeal the clear feed requirement. " Government thinking at its best ... making it sound better for the little guy who has to open his wallet when it is the government...

Well as I understand it a leased receiver costs $15 to send back if you close your account. If leased what are you on the hook for if it gets damaged? I only bought the 301 to do a self install for the Welcome Pack.

Just received the card today that my dp301 will no longer work after May 31, 2015. They claim "there is no cost or commitment associated with replacing your receiver" but is that really true? I picked mine up at a yard sale for $5 so it owes me nothing at this point. If calling dish will result...

In reality how many more channels would you get on American satellites with one of these PC cards over an AzBox? Are we talking single digits or more than ten?

Wow just stumbled upon this thread and am shocked. I searched on line and could not find an obituary. How sad that only a few people will know of his passing.

Thanks! So is that channel worth moving the minibud there?

Go price the cost to build, launch and administer a satellite over a decade or two before saying it is price gouging. The fact is more of these full time satellite feeds to one location are going away. There is no point to it when cheaper stable landline options are available. The only...

If that CTV 2 non S2 signal is still there it may come in on a 1.2m. I would be interested to hear about any results with a Titanium C1PLL lnb.

I have had about a 100 feet of RG6 (from Lowe's 500 ft box) buried just under the grass for three years now without issue. If you have skunks or other animals that dig there is some risk but RG6 is cheap if you buy in bulk and do your own ends.
