    Sounds like the only way I'll know for sure is to try it and hope for the best. Based on this map for the Eastern Arc which is how they will install here in Lansing I should have a decent shot at it. That being said, I do have a Dish Network HD Dish on my roof from the prior owner Eastern...

    First of all, thank you for this very helpful post. I'm spending a lot of time and research figuring this all out. Lansing locals are on both the Eastern and Western Arcs. But they will install Eastern as that is where the HD is for Lansing as you noted. SD only for Lansing is on the Western...

    I'm trying to replicate the service I would get back in Chicago at my address in MI. There wouldn't be any blackouts.

    Yes, two more years. I've looked at Slingbox at my parents house but it doesn't look like the quality is that good and some messing around to do with players that don't have ads. That's why I am considering this. The prior owner of our house had Dish.

    Hi All, I'm a life long Chicagoan that is currently in the Lansing, MI area while my wife completes a medical residency here at Michigan State. Currently have Comcast and tired of not being able to see Chicago sports. I'd also rather watch Chicago news on WGN and have no need for the local...
