I was leasing back then when the offer came out. I was passed my lease agreement and returned my 301's and bought a 301 and then purchased a 811 off of dish. They wouldn't sell me one as long as I was leasiing.
I live west of the burgh in Ohio. I have 25 added. But that is how it is listed, as channel 25. The only time KDKA shows up is when I bring my guide up. Thew others I get map to the correct number mostly, except 22 and 13.
I think it's worth it. I've had my 811 since Dec. 9. And the programing is great. Except ESPN. When they show in actual HD it's the best. The other crap isn't worth watching. And the others hardly show comericals. Hogans Heros in HD who'd thunk it.
