For the most part other than by blacking out many of their 'sidecar stations' they seem to be acting in good faith and at least for now they are trying to avoid an actual blackout. I am concerned when this gets around to Dish Network as they are tougher on the sports networks being bundled in...

Let me guess, Mylife? Everybody knows that those websites are fake by now though.

It would most likely require a Western Arc dish, and would likely cause you to lose access to your locals depending on where you are.

I should have been more clear in my post that this was just a rumor as it came from an unnamed source and was only carried on a limited number of outlets back in '17. But yes it was published to the internet by several of these outlets.

Do you live in a market that does not have a FOX O&O. Rumor has it that in 2017 FOX was considering a Dr. Evil style plan to buy up all of the ION Media O&Os. Next, according to an unknown source, they were going to start stripping away the FOX affiliations from multiple stations in markets...

I am curious about their plans for ATSC 3.0 which would supposedly do just that. What leverage will they have then to force the cable companies to pay up if most people were able to get a FREE usable signal.

The first bite into cotton candy is about the weirdest you will ever experience. Especially as a toddler.

Not much pay in the industry. Installers usually make $13 - $15 an hour. If your lucky you may find an installer contractor that allows you to collect commission for things such as selling customers extra surge protectors.

A bad or failing receiver can sometimes go into a boot loop where it just keeps rebooting over and over. If its doing this you may want to get the receiver replaced before it just keeps rebooting forever and your stuck with no tele. Thats the only thing that I could think of that would make it...

I demand a sushi channel for when the cooking channels get blacked out.

STELA Act is up for reauthorization as the 2014 version is due to sunset on December 31, 2019. Back in 2014 the idea of "Local Choice" was introduced as an attack against forced bundling of local channels (which contain vital information such as local emergencys, breaking news event coverage...

But at $50 these packages are already more expensive than Welcome Pack and the Flex Pack base price (not counting receiver fees). In addition to that in many parts of the US quality broadband is not available which results in buffering during peak times like Sunday Afternoons. Plus we have the...

It would create a new thing called "Cord Shaving" For example one would get the Disney/ABC/ESPN channels for $20 something and just use and antenna for the OTA channels. On its own ESPN channels could be worth $15 or so. In packages the cost ends up being unfairly redistributed across all...

When I go to the store I can choose to just by Coke products and not be forced to take packages that also include Pepsi products. I do not see how FOX Networks should be allowed to legally draw up contracts forcing providers to include their stuff into packages that include channels from other...

Does dish still offer a locals only package these days? Anyone?

Back in the 1940s there was a Paramount Television Network that had a handful of stations but like DuMont it did not stay around.

Does this work in any market anywhere in the country with a Dish Network Subscription? abc.go.com/watch-live I've been to NYC receantly and... "DISH is not available in this area for live stream viewing, but you can continue to enjoy episodes on demand" I should add that NBC works fine, but...

According to an article I found in Business Insider, just 6 corperations control 90% of the media in the United States. That is consolidated down from about 50 seperate corperate entiities just a few deckades ago in 1983. So the available free market forces are not strong enough to keep the...

The new TV season starting with all of the new shows headed to cable and ota networks alike. Has anybody else gotten tired of worrying about the 'risk' involved in putting your time and subscription money into an expensive monthly package only to still have to worry about blackouts? I have and...

Though this is a step in the right direction, I expect much better. In the days of TVRO you could get all the ESPNs without anything else for example. Why not now? I'd like to have just the locals pack and the news pack for $20. Why can't I do this? ESPN (THE DISNEY MONSTER) will just force its...

I now have OTA guide data for the DVR with Tribune's WNEP so for the most part I am now a happy customer. Still waiting for the superstations though they were only available in SD anyway. I was able to ask for a refund without having to cancel them and worry about never getting them turned back...

With regards to this Dish Network should be able to contract with a third party (like they did with All America Direct due to an infamous court injunction) to provide distant signals to people living in grade B areas in markets where they do not serve a local into local feed of that particular...

I agree with this. Tribune is a lousy and excessive greedy company. They are trying to force Dish into an agreement of a price increase of 2.4x the $1million and a half or so in cash that they are currently paying them on an almost MONTHLY basis. In addition to that three of the superstations...

My DVR is all messed up even though I *HAVE* an antenna with Dish for the POS Tribune station WNEP in my area that is affected by the blackout. I have perfect OTA reception 85% no break up. Why is it my DVR is messed up you ask? Dish network wiped out all of the guide information and the Dish...
