    Here is the letter I'm sending to the president of the NAB. They don't list his email address on the site, but using some logic based on some other emails listed, I believe it is: drehr@nab.org. I know the letter will not get my DNS back... but it gives me some closure to this multi-year...

    I'm leaning towards Ice's statement, that it is a legality that they cannot offer me Milwaukee, since they do carry those locals as well.

    Distant Network Shutoff on December 1st?

    I just lost my DNS only for ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox... I still have distant CW, and misc 'superstations' plus the national PBS. Green Bay locals have been offered to me for years. My question is why can the local cable company offer both Green Bay and Milwaukee locals in my town (I live...

    Because artificial constraints protecting the archaic business model of local retransmission annoys me. I'd rather have my DNS than use the internet right now... but this mess is does not allow that.

    Since you are such a big fan of my posts, you should know that it's not every twelve hours that I protest the stupid laws protecting the locals.

    Luckily when I lose my distants, I'll be able to replace them with the Internet... and not my locals. The NAB cannot stop technology.

    "Well if you live in the boonies" - nope "and don't have cable" - it's an option, but I don't want it " and want to watch the net's" - nope... what programming I want to watch from ABC, CBS, NBC, or FOX, I can stream on-line, totally by-passing the locals. Ha ha ha ha. And since none of...

    Thanks, but since Fox was the only hold-out on the settlement from E, and since Direct and Fox are both owned by the same guy... it will be a cold day in hell before Direct gets my business.

    lol! actually the locals are available in my area, but my dish is too old to get them (not that I'll actually buy the locals), but it would be nice to get new, free equipment. I'm with you on downloading the programs I want. The NAB will not win.

    I wonder what kind of email I'll get since my dish is not capable of getting locals.
