"how does this affect me? I can't get locals from directv currently but yet 2 miles to the east in pennsylvania they can get pittsburgh locals." Sounds like you're in the same boat as me. This is a terrible area in Pennsylvania to live for satellite. It's no fun being in the 8% of D*...

"If the cable headend can pick up the local channels, then those locals can be rebroadcast to the entire franchise area without prejudice. However, significantly-viewed is only a measurement of the viewing habits of a specific area's residents via antenna. So, unless residents of your county...

Either way I'm still peeved about this... Let's offer more localized programming for people who already have it and forget about the rest of you. If I currently wasn't living in such a weird neighborhood with regards to trees and tall buildings I'd be watching my Erie (and Buffalo) channels on...

Alan - so what was the link that you supplied from the FCC? Why would that have Buffalo channels listed under Warren County?

The message no longer appears, but only time will tell if the guide is correct. Thanks!

My argument with D* (also with the FCC) was just that - Buffalo, while not technically local - has always been available through our cable providers. And therefore I couldn't understand the logic behind not allowing it to be offered here - but this was long before I ever heard any utterings of...

Thanks, I'll try this now.

I understand how SVC works in your situation, but am still a bit lost in mine. D* doesn't carry my locals (Erie, PA) - which is why I qualify for NY and LA - but does carry Buffalo, NY (which are available through our cable provider). Does this mean, in theory, I will be able to recieve the...

Looking for the maximum amount of suggestions, so I'm double-posting... Simply put, my guide is incorrect as per the listings of shows (which means I'm recording junk I don't want). Since Sunday I've had a message on my search for programs menu that says the satellite is downloading new guide...

I had this same problem (on top of mine being a retired employee from the cable company and him insisting that I had to leave the cable entering my apartment, and I'd have to take any and all sat equipment down, because if I move the next person would most assuredly not want satellite - I...

I've posted before about my frustrations over locals... And I tried to read through this thread, but apparently I'm pretty dense when it comes to this stuff. Can anyone explain to me, in 1st grade English (heh!), what all of this means? I'm currently recieving DMA because D* doesn't carry...

Starting last Friday some of the shows I normally record (for example, the second showing in a single night) have been wrong - the guide says one thing but the show is something else. I checked my "search for programs to record" function on Sunday night and had a notice at the bottom that...

Thanks for answering my questions. Who designates the DMA? Someone sitting behind a desk, most likely, who has no understanding beyond simple geographical and zip code boundaries... And why hasn't someone suggested (especially in the wake of the new Homeland Security laws) that the closest...

I guess I didn't qualify my statement - I can get the NY/LA feed, but I'm not interested in DNS. That news and advertising doesn't concern me, for obvious reasons. What I don't understand is why they're telling me that this area isn't in a local market. 100% of the households in this area...

I tried to search for this, but only found information regarding HD locals and information about people nowhere near a local station. According to D*, it's illegal for me to recieve local channels since we (16365) aren't in a market. While I am closer to Erie, PA (which D* doesn't carry), our...
