Thanks for the prompt replies. Of course, now the Lions are finally looking decent. LOL.

It used to be an open topic of discussion. I guess that has changed as well.

It took me over a year, but I finally performed my "move" to Detroit this afternoon. I am physically located in metro-PHX, and have a Dish 1000+ installed (been functioning fine under normal PHX market settings for almost a year). I was all excited with my "master plan" finally coming to...

FSN-AZ and FSN-Detroit are carried on the same satellites. Once I move, that's all it should take. Neither one is spotbeamed. Or so that's my impression so far.

I'm looking to do the same thing (get FSN-Detroit) in Phoenix. When I looked into this 2 yrs ago (and couldn't pursue due to apartment complex factors), the best option seemed to be "moving" Detroit to get FSN-D, and getting the Phoenix locals in HD via an OTA antenna. Is this still an option...

Fair enough.

Gee, thanks for such an insightful reply!!!!!! IS that enough exclamation points for you??????????? I thought a forum member might have some up-to-date info for me BEFORE CALLING THEM since this forum SPONSORS THEM. Can you comprehend that, tough guy? Oh wait, I mean, ???????????????

Every time in the past that I was about to pull the trigger on a Dish deal as a new customer, something happened to prevent me from doing so. Well, I've reached yet another point when I'm ready to pull the trigger, and now I'm realizing that everything's totally changed yet again. I'm looking...

Yeah, I found it a bit odd too. I have not gotten a second opinion yet, but will do so if it's still free of charge. Here's what my request was: VIP622 AT 250 Dish HD Deutsche-Welle (DW-TV) Starz (free for 3 months) I ordered DW-TV so I would get the Dish 1000+ which would get me the 118.75...

I was all set to go w/ a lovely E* package only to learn that I couldn't get all signals...even though I have a very open 2nd story patio/balcony facing directly to the S. Now, I'm looking for alternatives as those signals which I can't get were the whole reason for me wanting E* (or any...

Well, after even more reading, I'm going to get the set that has the built-in tuner after all. The set is *only* going to be 32" and will initially be my primary set (i.e. definitely with a STB), but will ultimately end up as a bedroom TV once I get a bigger place (i.e. may or may not have a...

Awesome news on the Detroit HD locals still being accesible to me! I'll just have to adjust to watching everything in EST. Bonuses: This means I won't need an OTA antenna to get locals...and I can get the HD set without a tuner that I've been eyeing, instead of the one with the built-in tuner...

I just found another post that detailed a situation very similar to mine. There was no conclusion to it yet, but here's what I've come up with: 1. Billing address - "Move back to Detroit" 2. Satellite physical location - in Phoenix 3. Order E* AT100+ (at a minimum) and add the multi-sports...

My situation is incredibly similar to DocSamson's. I'm from MI and am a diehard fan of every pro team except the Lions, plus U of M. I recently moved to AZ. I've quickly grown sick of Cox (never thought anyone could be worse than Comcast) and started researching satellite. When I learned about...

Thanks for the informative replies. I guess I still have a glimmer of hope. I'll look into the spotbeam aspect as it pertains to my situation to see how I'd be affected. Losing the true local aspect of Phx stations wouldn't bother me, but needing to watch shows based on the EST start time...
