Yes I paid the 99 dollars.

When I moved last year with DishMover I told the Indian guy that I wanted to pay the 99 bucks and not sign a 2 year deal. When the local installer guy came he was told to make me sign the contract. If I decide to cancel and switch to a competitor in Feb when prices are going to be going up in...

Thanks, From the reveiws this looks like a winner. Some of the large antennas I was looking at would be overkill as I pick up most of the HD I want with an indoor antenna in a basement. I just wanted to make sure I could pick up 10 & 12. Which this antenna seems to do. Also it should withstand...

Actually when XM launched only 30 music channels were commercial free. XM then removed commercials from all music stations and raised the price from 9.99 to 12.99 per month. Clear Channel sued and an arbitrator ruled that Clear Channel could program a certain amount of bandwidth which is when...

They have announced that they will continue to operate all the current sats in their system for both services, at least for the near future. They have announced that XM subs have the option to add 10 channels of Sirius programming for 4 more/mo and Sirius can add 10 channels of XM for 4/more...

Nepotism is if the XM/Sirius execs were related to the FCC commisioners. Competition is good but there is still plenty of competition in the market, satellite radio is simply a sector of a wide and expanding marketplace. Under the current plan I don't see many losing their jobs as they plan...

I have to completely disagree. 1) Neither XM nor Sirius turned a profit. I was a stock holder for both and one of my major projects for my MBA was on XM. 2) If there was not a merger then there would be less competition due to one or both companies going out of business. 3) The politics...

i need VHF as WCPO broadcasts on 10 & WKRC after the transition will broadcast on 12. I definitely will need a rotor to pick up Lexington & Louisville though Dayton is in the same general direction as the Cincinnati Towers. If WKRC would broadcast CW in HD on their HD-2 channel I would not...

I'm adding an outdoor antenna for OTA HD channels and am trying to figure out what the best solution is for my location. I live 20 miles from most of the Cincinnati stations though would like to pick up a CW affiliate from Louisville (about 60-70 miles) or Lexington (about 50-60 miles) or...

Had nothing to do with that per se but the business plan changed when they went private and divsted most if not all of their television stations to focus on radio. However due to the same merger agreement they will have to divest either 700 WLW & Kiss 107 or 92.5 the Fox and Radio 94.1. Rumors...

WCPO is owned by Scripps. WLWT is owned by Hearst. WKRC was sold by Clear Channel to NewportTV who then cut over 10% of the staff.

Fox Sports Ohio only was able to secure satellite time for 71 HD Reds games this season compared to 30 last season. Even though the equipment may be there, the availability on FSN satellites were not. Cincinnati.com should have this in their archive blogs for the TV section.

All 4 channels broadcast in HD, only channel 9 does news in HD, though 5 is going to carry the WEBN Fireworks in HD this year.

TBS HD does show MLB games in HD including the playoffs.

1. I Hate HOA's 2. Why should you as the customer bow down to their rules, especially when they violate FCC rules. 3. File a complaint with the FCC against the HOA for violating FCC rules. I'm sure some of the do gooders in the HOA are the same ones that spend time monitoring radio stations to...

I watch that type of programming as well. I have an MBA, make well over 100k per year total household income, and drive an environmentally friendly car. Please leave your misguided stereotypes at home :tux:

If you read the law you would see that FCC approval is still necessary, just you can send an informal application in rather than the official and formal application, and any approval from the FCC is only temporary.

Actually you could be fined and face possible jail time with or without a warning from the FCC for operating a pirate station. Also they could confiscate any equipment used for the transmission, in this case the dish equipment. That is of course if you use the 1 watt version.

The technology is sort of there already, its the Emergency Alert System, though would be very dificult to implement the way you are describing. First it would be yet anohter converter box people would need in order to have two seperate broadcast feeds and even then not sure it would be...

As someone who has worked in the media before I have to side with the TV channels on this issue and not only that but applaud them for actually caring about severe weather. However due to Al Gore's initiative in the 90s to replace the Emergency Broadcast System which worked on a chain of...

I live in Verona and noticed the same thing, especially when they switched cameras.

When my dish was installed on my new house, the installer said that you add 40 to the reading. So yes that would be normal.

Does anyone know what their original 21 channel lineup was?

Wildfire is in HD though has one or two episodes left before it is cancelled. Also does anyone think that Dish added the WFN so the Direc TV ad making fun of Dish's HD selection of "having that fishin' channel" would be true?

Yes I know I could ask Dish customer service but I hate dealing with them since they offshored to India. Couple questions: What is included int he 94.98? Locals? HD? I noticed in another thread that DVR lease fees are waived? Did I read that right and if I added a second HD DVR would...
