Here's my take on this controversial issue. I agree the Nielsen's DMA system is messed up. Fortunately with an outdoor antenna I get three adjacent markets over-the-air at my location. Augusta, GA Charlotte, NC Columbia, SC I'm very interested in watching Charleston, SC local channels one day...

The main problem of why distant feeds are prohibited= SILLY EXCLUSIVITY RULES! I wish the FCC eliminates them. Sorry NAB, I hate bad news! ;)

In Canada, the US broadcast networks blackout certain American programs that Canadian networks broadcast. Like sports for example. I've heard of CanCon (Canadian Content law). I'm glad that I got a Slingbox for Christmas so I might set up my M1 at a mutual friend's house in Charleston, SC so I...

We have the Choice Xtra package, our bill was about $130 a month (One HD receiver, One HD-DVR, one SD, plus HD service). IDK what's our new price.

I do live in Greenwood, SC (outside city limits) the closest (WNEH 38.1 PBS/SCETV) is about 17 miles North, and the most distant in my area I could get with my outdoor antenna if used 30' above ground level (WJZY 46.1 FOX O&O out of Charlotte, NC) is 101 miles North Northeast.

My 300th Post! :D Even though I'm in a moderate to ultra weak reception area, I get about 70+ OTA channels in various directions. I've recently got a 25' telescopic antenna mast with extra 5' mast and antenna rotor from ChannelMaster for Christmas. It hasn't been installed yet.

WLOS 13.1 is RF 13.

An average long range antenna goes up 100 miles (low and high VHF) and 60+ miles (UHF). In my area, I get three adjacent markets OTA from: Augusta, GA (line of sight path on most stations) Columbia, SC (2edge path) Charlotte, NC (2edge and Tropo) Greenville, SC (my home market, about line of...

You must be in my market (Greenville, SC) and my ABC station as well. :)

How do you do it on AM21 OTA tuner?

Sadly carriage disputes of cable networks are too common and controversial. I wish there was a REFORM :(

We've been DIRECTV subscribers for almost 6 years. Recently STELAR has became law (P.L. 113-200) and what I like about the new bill is, orphan counties will soon be allowed to watch in-state programming. And the retransmission consent reform too. From a website about STELAR. I highlight the...

What about in-state programming?

All I have to say is Hell will be breaking loose! Blackouts by Broadcasters/Cable networks are getting too common, and the madness hasn't stop. In the new STELAR bill, they're reforming Retransmission Consent.
