    Espnu or All American Direct distants in HD

    It did not include a 13 month. The yearly price averages out to $24.16 a month. It's pretty pricey but I grew up in Chicago and was very disappointed when the Chicago HD locals went to spotbeam in February. I was very surprised to have the chance to get them back again.

    Espnu or All American Direct distants in HD

    I'm watching hockey on KNBC. No blocking/distortation during any parts of the game on 60 inch Sony. Looks good to my eyes.

    Espnu or All American Direct distants in HD

    I just bought one year of all the Chicago HD locals for $289.99 and three months of KNBC Los Angeles for $14.98. Those rumors about only being able to subscribe to one city only appear to be not true. The customer service rep from AAD said there was a lot of confusion about the whole process...

    Bobby, Are you saying that Arizona is not eligible for west coast nets because there is no way they would allow subscriptions to the east feeds if only one is permitted.

    Cubs in HD?

    You are correct about some of the Royals games being blacked out. What determines which Royals games in Iowa are shown or blacked out? Either your in their territory or your not.

    Oklahoma gets shut out on the Royals Again

    I'm in Des Moines for the baseball season. I've had no blackouts for Cubs, WSox, Twins, Cards, and Brewers. About half of the Royals games have been blacked out. All of Fridays (4/24) games with the above mentioned teams are showing up as blacked out in the guide. Anyone else in Iowa having...

    "Moving" - Ceil 2 question

    For some reason Dish kept the SD Chicago locals conus so I'm hoping they keep the HD conus also. I realize its not likely but I can hope! I receive the Phoenix and Tucson HD locals OTA so it appears I won't have the option to move anywhere to get another markets locals. I don't think any non...

    Moving question

    No, you would not be able to receive Topeka locals in Little Rock according to this map of sat 110, transponder 31, beam 24. http://www.dishuser.org/E10spots/e10t31.gif

    Obama tax plan scaring some MLB free agents

    I can't wait to get that money redistributed to me. I'm entitled to it. This country owes me big time. Thank God the government is finally going to take care of me.

    Los Angeles locals

    The LA locals on 129 are CONUS. When the current satellite at 129 is replaced they will probably be switched over to a spot beam.

    Spotbeam question

    I live 40 miles southeast of Phoenix. I'm receiving a spotbeam signal of 15 on sat 119 tr. 3. It's locked in with yellow. Los Angeles is the closest beam to me on this transponder but according to the spotbeam maps I'm not near the edge of the footprint. Is it possible I'm actually receiving the...

    MLB Zones Question

    One other option is to "move" to River Falls Wisconsin which would give you Minneapolis/St.Paul HD locals and Brewers/Twins baseball. The Twin cities HD locals are conus on sat 129.

    MLB Zones Question

    I also tried without success to find an address that would get me the Chicago locals with Brewers/Cubs/Sox. The best address I could find was Rensselaer Indiana 47978 which gives you Chicago locals/teams along with the Reds and Blues.

    Starchoice activation problem

    Thank you for the suggestions. Chances are nothing will go wrong. I can always say that they had the wrong apartment number on the statement. I also discovered that the UPS store has locations across Canada and will sell you a mail box with a full canadian address.

    Starchoice activation problem

    I live in AZ and activated my DSR505 today. I saw on the SC website that they offered paperless billing so I found the address of an apartment building in Toronto. I used that as my billing address. I gave them my real cell phone number and had no problem getting my unit activated. The CSR...

    Lost sportsnet HD

    I just noticed today that SportsnetHD Ch. 281 is showing NO SUBSCRIPTION. I have the essentials package and have always received this channel. Did anybody else lose it?

    Local WGN on SC

    Today the onscreen SC guide shows the listings for the local WGN but they are still showing the superstation feed. They seem to be having an amazingly difficult time executing this switch.

    Local WGN on SC

    I thought today was supposed to be the day Starchoice switched to the local version of WGN. Anyone have any information on why the superstation feed is still on?

    61.5 or 129 in AZ

    Thank you Roadwarrior and Digiblur. I guess your right Digiblur about moving the dish myself later on if I want to. "Moving" might be more of a hassle than its worth. My wife wants the Phoenix locals. It was tough enough convincing her to drop cable for Dishnetwork.

    61.5 or 129 in AZ

    I'm having my 622 installed next week in suburban Phoenix. My plan was to change my service address after installation to receive Chicago HD's on sat 129. I just created my account on the Dishnetwork website and clicked on HD programming and it listed all the packages with sat coordinates...

    SC installation problem

    Thank you Iceberg. I appreciate your help. I moved the dish as you suggested and signal strength increased to 65 and ECB 7.7. That reading is for Channel 324 CFTK which is still showing up on ch. 281. I'm located about 30 miles SE of Phoenix AZ so I assume thats a decent level of signal. I...
