    Have lost my HD Channels on H21 receiver

    My AM21 problem has returned. :coco I had to remove power to it to get remote control over the HR44. It might be an over heating thing.

    That’s it! I’m leaving Dish when my contact’s up and returning to DirecTV.

    DirecTV has still not resolved its conflict with my local Fox affiliate owned by Northwestern Communications. DirecTV removed the station on February 22.

    DNS service with waiver?

    The waiver remains in effect unless you cancel it and then it can't be reinstated. But, this may have changed now that ATT took over.

    DNS service with waiver?

    With the current DirecTV retransmission disputes, I wish I hadn't given up my DNS waivers when DirecTV offered my locals.

    Well in that case, the local is cutting their own throat by prohibiting local advertising from being seen.

    It's the station's decision in as much as they refuse to pay DirecTV their excessive costs. :rolleyes Too bad, since they are cutting the revenue stream for those stations. It's a no win situation.

    We lost Fox a couple of weeks ago and now ABC and NBC. :( Unfortunately, my OTA is currently out of commission, so I'll have to go with on demand or the internet for some shows. It's good that the networks are in rerun time.
