St Joseph, is where I moved to. Because the TV and Cable outlets both are owned by the same company they have the area locked down. I was told I would have to get waivers from them and the AAD rep told me that his records show that they decline all waivers. But I will be calling back on...

I have already contacted them both and they tell me it doesnt matter about the law change, they cant offer me service. I already stated this previously, but will be contacting them again Saturday. I am listening but some people do work and I was working til I checked back to see if anyone...

I will try it Iceberg but just out of curiosity what is the penalty for getting caught LOL. Wife wants to shoot me now but I dont want her to really do it. :)

Already called mydistantnetworks.com and they told me they cant help me. The only practical place to put an antenna according to my broadcasting friend from KC probably wont recieve unless I can go quite a bit higher than my roof due to ground contours. We sit in a valley between to hills N...

Nope antenna wont work as I am 66 miles from Kansas City. Thats per Antenna web. Homeowners association wont allow outside antennas either. God I hate them.

I guess I am learning that now Trout, I was checking the MO Attorney General site and Dish has over 300 complaints and Direct only has 50. Guess I am gonna learn the hard way, and that pisses me off even more as I was a happy Dish guy for 5 years plus

AAD cant offer me my locals, been there done that. :(

Ok on May 14th I originally suspended my Dish Network account. I was moving and my wife and I decided that we would look into going to cable in our new home. We only have one cable provider available to us and it doesnt offer as many channels as Dish. So I went back to Dish same day on the...

Nope they (local cable co, owns the ABC affiliate) offer ABC from KC as well. If you had ever seen the joke we have for a TV station here you would understand why nobody listens to it.

New town is St Joseph Missouri. I think they are in the same spot beam. I am about 55 ish miles N of KC whereas before I was in Kansas.

What the Dish CSR told me was something to do with the State of Missouri. Where the Cable Co's got some deal passed that kept Satelite providers from carrying local stations. I was only given the options of NY, LA and another location for major network programing. IE not in my timezone for...

I am moving to Missouri from Kansas and have hit a big snag. Apparently I cant keep my local KC stations on my Satelite. So now I am told I will need an antenna. Antenna Web says to get the KC stations I need a Violet antenna with an amp. It says I am between 45 and 52 miles from those...
