    Springfield/Holyoke OTA - AM21

    It sounds like either the UHF part of the antenna isn't as sensitive as you need, or that it needs to be better-aimed. The actual frequencies used to broadcast digital channels usually don't correspond to the channel number advertised by the station. WFSB/WSHM's (channel 3's) digital signal...

    Looking to "move"

    I know that I'm late to the thread...but do you actually have to "move" all the way to Boston? "Moving" to 06401, for example, gets you Hartford locals, Boston and New York sports regionals, and CBS/NBC/Fox out of New York. Hartford locals are on a more southerly spot than Boston locals...

    Significantly Viewed Channel Question

    The results of the last time I played with the SV lookup tool can be seen in this thread: http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=62386 I haven't seen any new SV channels offered by D* in a long while.

    An Afternoon Spent With the D* SV Tool

    I've updated my list. It's apparently just one ZIP code that's in the Baton Rouge market, but also receives Jackson's networks via SV

    An Afternoon Spent With the D* SV Tool

    That's what I figured for almost all of the :confused: -flagged stations. Unfortunately I couldn't find a smiley face that realy conveyed that message. The one possible exception for that is the PBS station added in/around Hampton Roads. It's not entirely clear to me what's up there.

    An Afternoon Spent With the D* SV Tool

    Inspired by the thread on SV arriving in the Hartford market, I got curious and started playing around with the SV tool on the D* website to see what could be seen. I noticed a few other SV changes that haven't been commented on here, and which don't necessarily match the FCC SV list. So, in...

    hartford/new haven now has neighboring locals

    Positive. Here's The List for Connecticut at the county level, with smilies indicating whether D* is making them available under SV. Fairfield :) [NYC Locals] :( WTNH-TV, 8, New Haven, CT :( WTXX, 20, Waterbury, CT Hartford :) [Hartford Locals] Litchfield :) [Hartford...

    hartford/new haven now has neighboring locals

    According to the FCC SV list, Hartford County wouldn't be eligible for any SV stations. Of course, from what's being observed around CT, the FCC SV list isn't necessarily being followed. For Hartford County, the leading contenders would be 22 and 40 from Springfield... and 40 would be iffy...

    DirecTV to Launch Significantly Viewed DMA service

    FWIW, the D* SV query page (http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/see/SvChannels.jsp), which had been returning null results whenever I looked at it for the past several weeks, appears to be working once again. The only "new" SV-ness I saw while poking around last night was the expansion of WCAX, WNNE...

    ANOTHER religious channel

    I can think of a few public interest channels I'd like to have before another religious channel.

    Say GOODBYE to diplexers with the new MPEG-4 Five Lnb AT-9 DirecTV dish

    How important is PQ in the home office? Maybe this will or won't help you, but I have a similar situation as you, where my home office is on the wrong side of the house from my dish. My better half forbade me from doing the drilling, etc. to run coax to account for this design deficiency...

    D* DMA's are crazy

    I suppose that it's just too obvious to point the OP to the concept of "moving". :D

    DirecTV to Launch Significantly Viewed DMA service

    I have a dumb question. If the concern is that launching SV now would, in some markets, mean that D* has to go out and install a 3-sat dish to be followed shortly thereafter with a 5-sat dish... why couldn't D* adopt the policy that SV in and of itself doesn't qualify a subscriber to a...

    DirecTV to Launch Significantly Viewed DMA service

    Nope. If D* rolls out SV in Fairfield county, only WTNH (ABC 8) and WTXX (WB 20) are SV-eligible. If D* adopts the full SV list, the best places to get both NYC and CT stations will be in New Haven County outside New Haven itself (CT locals + 6 NYC networks) and some towns at the end of Long...

    New DMA Annoucement--- STL or Terre Haute?

    Good luck getting an accurate, helpful response. :eyeroll: I think the DMA-shifts are supposed to be up on the retailers' website now. You might have better luck PM-ing someone who has revealed him/herself to be a retailer (try the search function), or by looking up and telephoning someone...

    New DMA announcement- NY - Boston?

    This is what I posted in another threat, re. the summary of what might potentially be available in the New York DMA, if D* fully rolls out SV: There are NO locations where Boston and New York locals could be made available. Writing as someone who works part-time in both cities, believe me...

    DirecTV to Launch Significantly Viewed DMA service

    The information that was leaked out suggests that the consumer page won't be updated until SV is actually rolled out. Some new information was supposed to have been released to the retailer's site last week. However, rereading the leaked memo, I now suspect the only updated information to...

    New York Locals

    If the memo is to be believed, then the only special equipment required to get the three Albany stations is a 3-satellite oval dish. If you have one of those, and if D* does roll out SV to the greatest extent possible, then those stations should Just Appear. What we don't know is to what...

    New York Locals

    In addition to the New York locals, WRGB (CBS 6), WTEN (ABC 10), and WXXA (Fox 23) are considered SV in Ulster County. Other places in the NY market that have out-of-market locals on the SV list: Dutchess County -- WTEN (ABC 10) and WXXA (Fox 23) Fairfield County -- WTNH (ABC 8) and WTXX...

    DirecTV to Launch Significantly Viewed DMA service

    I doubt it. I'd expect that the change on 11/9 will be just to expand who gets the stations D* already carries. I didn't realize that tool was back online. However, that's the URL to determine DNS eligibility...and it looks like it includes information needed to determine digital white...

    DirecTV to Launch Significantly Viewed DMA service

    It's good news for: Some individuals who wish they could get some of the out-of-market broadcast stations carried on local cable via D* Some individuals who wish they could get local/regional news, weather, and sports from a nearby city's affiliate(s) rather than their FCC/Nielsen-prescribed...
