    CBS Just Showed UP

    After the networks were cut off I was denied by NPS. I live in Phenix City, AL. Before the cut-off I had waivers for CBS & NBC. This morning CBS E&W feeds showed up. What's going on?

    Distant Network Information

    I signed up a couple hours ago at the website. I did qualify and was asked for my credit card information. Everything seemed to go smoothly. Just waiting on the channels to appear in the guide.

    DIsh Free Antenna Deal

    DIsh contacted me by phone and told me that I would lose my DNS on December 1st. Dish offered me a free antenna (type unknown) with a free install. The install date is December 1st between 8-12.

    DIsh Free Antenna Deal

    Yep, you are correct. I just excepted the offer for curiosity more than anything else. Actually, I know that an OTA antenna in my area will receive NBC, CBS, FOX and ABC. CW is 23 miles away and does not come in. I wonder if the Dish OTA antenna will be good enough to bring in the CW.

    DIsh Free Antenna Deal

    My free antenna from Dish will be installed on Decemeber 1st. I have a few questions: 1. Does this mean that Dish will provide me with guide data for the OTA networks? I currently have waivers for CBS & NBC Distants that I will be losing. 2. Will Dish require me to extend my contract...

    Call from E advised me that I would be losing my DNS (I receive NBC & CBS E&W feeds via approved waivers). E stated I could get free OTA antenna installed. Earliest appointment December 1 (8-12). I told them to go ahead since it was free. I will send report after installation.

    OTA Networks Great Except Fox

    Locals But, I don't qualify for E* locals in my area. Are you saying I can pay for them, not receive the locals, but receive the guide data?

    OTA Networks Great Except Fox

    622 upgrade completed yesterday, scanned for networks, CBS - NBC - ABC are great, Fox is a problem. On Fox I get 99 then 0 then 99 then 0. I receive an error message when the signal goes to 0, then the picture comes back. Anyone had this problem or knows a fix? Also, "Digital Service"...
