    Espnu or All American Direct distants in HD

    It did not include a 13 month. The yearly price averages out to $24.16 a month. It's pretty pricey but I grew up in Chicago and was very disappointed when the Chicago HD locals went to spotbeam in February. I was very surprised to have the chance to get them back again.

    I'm watching hockey on KNBC. No blocking/distortation during any parts of the game on 60 inch Sony. Looks good to my eyes.

    Espnu or All American Direct distants in HD

    I just bought one year of all the Chicago HD locals for $289.99 and three months of KNBC Los Angeles for $14.98. Those rumors about only being able to subscribe to one city only appear to be not true. The customer service rep from AAD said there was a lot of confusion about the whole process...

    Bobby, Are you saying that Arizona is not eligible for west coast nets because there is no way they would allow subscriptions to the east feeds if only one is permitted.

    Cubs in HD?

    You are correct about some of the Royals games being blacked out. What determines which Royals games in Iowa are shown or blacked out? Either your in their territory or your not.

    Oklahoma gets shut out on the Royals Again

    I'm in Des Moines for the baseball season. I've had no blackouts for Cubs, WSox, Twins, Cards, and Brewers. About half of the Royals games have been blacked out. All of Fridays (4/24) games with the above mentioned teams are showing up as blacked out in the guide. Anyone else in Iowa having...

    "Moving" - Ceil 2 question

    For some reason Dish kept the SD Chicago locals conus so I'm hoping they keep the HD conus also. I realize its not likely but I can hope! I receive the Phoenix and Tucson HD locals OTA so it appears I won't have the option to move anywhere to get another markets locals. I don't think any non...

    Obama tax plan scaring some MLB free agents

    I can't wait to get that money redistributed to me. I'm entitled to it. This country owes me big time. Thank God the government is finally going to take care of me.

    Los Angeles locals

    The LA locals on 129 are CONUS. When the current satellite at 129 is replaced they will probably be switched over to a spot beam.

    Spotbeam question

    I live 40 miles southeast of Phoenix. I'm receiving a spotbeam signal of 15 on sat 119 tr. 3. It's locked in with yellow. Los Angeles is the closest beam to me on this transponder but according to the spotbeam maps I'm not near the edge of the footprint. Is it possible I'm actually receiving the...
