Same experience with NPS. Didn't qualify until yesterday. They seem to have their act together on this now. Just keep trying if your having problems. They had my qualifications correct and hooked me up within 1 hour. Frustrating the whole experience, but i have networks again and i am...

Ok, Can we get thew china stations on Dish? If so... ya think the olympics will be on them?... And What china package would be best? I mean US coverage of olympics pretty much stinks.... i was thinking we may get more coverage for fairly cheap by ordering the china package for one...

But it is niellson media that makes the DMA map correct? How do you get your DMA changed then?. The area i am in should 100% be in green bay DMA yet we are in Marquette DMA. I mean even the cable companies in Marquette DMA have 2 of 4 networks as green bay, 1 network is from a lower...

Well i didnt find a thread that this should go into... maybe make a sticky thread that says "Letters from Congressmen" so we have a place to stick em,besides up...:eek: ANy board mods?

As far as i understand... DMA is basically niellson media that decided what areas have the largest amount of consumers specified to a central location. In otherwords... where you spend your money. Niellson says they never made their map to be used by satellite companies and they are NOT...

December 4, 2006 Dear Mr Malamute <----- :D : Thank you for writing me about access to distant broadcast signals on your satellite system. I appreciate hearing from you. Federal laws clearly state when satellite companies are allowed to provide viewers with a distant network signal...

I couldnt agree with you more about everyone being able to get wtvr station they desire. I think they should just make you get your locals if available and then you can pay extra for more network stations if so desired. But i do have an fully up to date phone number,address and such since i...

Yes thank you. Thats what i did now. Their email was blocked by my spam filter so i didnt see it originally. I have the haunting premonition though that i will once again be run in circles. Also, Did anyone else not receive any notification whatsoever(email,phone,mail) from Dish telling you...

Well i was denied by NPS for distant networks although i live in a white area with no LiL or anything. NPS said i am not in their system. So logically, i asked what do i have to do to qualify. answer: nothing you can't So i asked why is it i am in a white area,,,legal to receive DNS...

Well i went to sign up for my distant networks, and i was told i was not eligible. I am obviously in a white zone here in the U.P. of michigan. :mad: Very annoying.

i am asking about the green bay spotbeam. I don't care what network i get from where, the fact is i cant get any networks at all.... like i said i 'supposedly' am in range for NBC only of all those U.P. antenna signals. And i have used Antenna to try to get NBC and i can barely even get the...

Hmm interesting... the only one they said i could get was the NBC... and honestly... i cant get one of those stations on an antenna... :( i live at the very south part there.... and dish doesnt offer any of those stations for us...also ya can live 5 miles south of escanaba and qualify for all...

Hey howdy, I am one those guys that's getting royally screwed by this distant network problem. I live in the Upper peninsula of Michigan and basically the entire area is white zone. This isnt just a small area... it takes 4 hours to drive through our 'white zone'. So alot of people will be...
