We lost our locals in the Quincy,IL-Hanibal,MO-Keokuk,IA market at around 5:35 CST. We also have the "no need to call" message on our screen. When it happened all of our locals (We only have SD so I do not know about HD) had the picture frozen for about 5 min and then were black until about...

Finally, this channel was made available. If I remember correctly, this was uplinked at the begging of December, 2008!!! Of course this is just a feed dumped off of KTVO in Kirksville.

Yeah you are not kidding, heck cell phone service is at its worst in the biggest town in the county. It is a radio broadcasters nightmare trying to do a good ole WIVC contest outta there. If I know I am heading down there I usually bring a box of phone cable so that I can plug into the school...

We do have that option...we have Adams Networks from over in Adams County but the signal still won't reach our house so we have to use wildblue. Of course our phone exchange has some of the worst phone lines in the state because we were the last phone exchange in IL to go away from party lines!!

I know exactly how DSpud feels about this. I live north of you in BC and heck I don't even think we have 5,00 people in our county haha. But we have been one of the unlucky areas that has been owned by Verizon and now with all of this going down hopefully we can get something done. I have...

I currently have audio on both nick stations. Maybe you should try a hard reset.

I am getting audio loss on Cartoon Network right now durring commercials..(not necessarily a bad thing)..and I think it is on the commercials that Dish is inserting.

On the ESPN issue... ESPN does not have exclusive rights for Monday and Wednesday Night Baseball telecasts, just as TBS does not exclusive rights for Sunday afternoon broadcasts. So when you have this situation, If you are normally able to watch the game on a local RSN then the national feed...

I think that the best solution for this problem is that you should be required to take your local DMA channels, thus preserving the income stream for local broadcasters. Then as long as you maintain that subscription to your "local" channels, you should be able to subscribe to one other local...

Part of the problem with the new FS Kansas City is that it was spun off of FS Midwest. When FS Midwest started to carry KC games a few years ago there started to be many different conflicts so to resolve this issue they created FS Kansas City which is still basically under FS Midwest. The only...

We did have a similar problem and had to call dish and they came out and replaced all of the LNB's and that fixed the problem.

I had this one happen when I updated my Grandpa to an HD receiver. I was told numerous times by the CSR's that there were no receiver fee's and that they would not be in the contract. Well a month later we get the first bill under the new setup and surprise...there are all kinds of fees that...

Yes you are correct that is what you would need, but unfortunately there is no product like this. While searching the internet for this I have found that many people have had this problem and have had no luck in fixing it. Since the Harmony is only IR there is nothing out there to convert its...

The reason why the Terk extender didn't work is because it kills the IR signal going into the receiver. Your best option is to call Dish and order an IR-UHF Remote kit. I just did this and it works better than anything else I have ever used and best part was that it only cost around $40. To...

If you really think about it, the Cardinals have a pretty good sized DMA compared to a lot of other teams. Heck, when you go to a game you are guaranteed to see license plates from MO, IL, IA, KY, TN, AR, KS, and ,IN...plus it is not uncommon to see plates from some of the states that surround...
