Well, WBTV is my "go to" channel for local news, so it's been rather inconvenient for channel 3 to be off for the last 5 days, and I can't get OTA because of Grandfather Mountain. SOL is the phrase, but I FULLY support Dish in this dispute.

Oh man, could you imagine? How awesome would it be to get a credit from the networks themselves? Why is it the TV providers that always have to give the discounts?
I'm guessing it's because consumers are paying the TV providers, not the networks. How would networks give a credit?
If you say so. I still don't see how there's even a credit (for the networks) to be given. Presumably, at whatever point they cutoff the signal, they're no longer charging the provider. So you want them to give a credit for something they're not getting paid for?
I have cable, dish and ota with a module on my 222vip to catch the ota. and I have a rotor to get Lincoln, Omaha, and Sioux city. but don't think any of our locals are giving dish a hard time yet. I do hope time warner and dish stick to their guns. social security is not covering the increases in our expenses. charlie

We lost our NBC and FOX affiliate in the Jackson Mississippi market. Hopefully, this will be resolved by football season.

I know everyone has their preference, but if I were you I'd much rather watch WJHL or WCYB - assuming you can get those OTA.

It's crazy. I'm less than 20 miles from the TN towers, but I live on the east side of Stone Mountain, a few hundred feet down from the summit, and can't get a signal. I always liked the east TN stations though, when they were analog.
The real pisser is that wcyb and others are significantly viewed per fcc, but only charter and the telco can offer them.

I have considered a (move) to a TN address.Only thing is wife watches a lot of WSOC,not sure WKPT would suit her as well.
Some people claim they have to charge all providers the same rates (per viewer). I find that hard to believe myself.... It makes no sense charging Comcast (a nationwide provider) the same per-viewer rate that they charge a small or municipal cable service that may only have a few thousand customers. Unless there's an FCC rule on this....
