    Well blame Charlie. He's the one who decided to cheat.

    Dish Network: Distant Networks

    You made an issue of the fact that your "locals" might/are very far from you. So if that is a problem (you'd have to explain why) why wouldn't DNS be worse? I don't think that I have ever said that people in a white area should not get network programming. The only question is which...

    Dish Network: Distant Networks

    Are your distants closer than your locals? I do think that DNS should be limited to narrowly defined groups. But I don't get to make the decision. If you have DNS legally, go forth and watch it.

    Did you mean "espouse" or perhaps "ex-spouse" (probably not). Just for fun: form a more perfect Union - strengthen localities by ensuring local content establish Justice - make sure that the content owners are compensated and that others don't steal their property insure domestic...

    Dish Network: Distant Networks

    As stated, your DNS is somebody else's locals. Do you think that Chicago locals do not have weather alerts? Report on rush hour traffic? Of course not. You are grasping at straws. Any criticism you can level at your local station is equally applicable to DNS. I might be more sympathetic if...

    You really ought to read more carefully. I don't want to "control" people. I want people to obey the law. Whether you have locals is entirely up to you. If you have DNS legally no problem. If you obtain DNS illegally - problem. Now my philosophy is that LIL is a good thing and should be...

    By the way, don't be too confident about what you know. I don't live in California but the Midwest as is indicated on every post (don't know why minnow didn't see that) but I happen to be in Georgia at the moment (bet you didn't guess that). The relay router I use (with about a hundred other...

    Well, your staff rights aren't all they're cracked up to be. A, B, C, D are all false. As I explained to minnow, my position is that if you can legally receive DNS - have at it. Feel free to express your desire for more and more DNS. However, the way the law is - you do not get each and...

    Dish Network: Distant Networks

    Not quite. While I admire your detective work, your premise is flawed. This was a response to someone who (if I recall correctly) couldn't live without DNS. I merely listed his LIL eligibility to demonstrate that the motivation for many "any DNS to anybody at anytime, anywhere" proponents has...

    How wide is the microwave signal coming from space?

    I don't think you are asking the right question for the answer you are seeking but since Ku band is 10.7-12.7 GHz (roughly) the wavelength will be about 2.8 cm (at 10.7) to 2.36 cm (at 12.7). Since the signal expands infinitely (with polarization considered) it is more of a question of how good...

    Heck, they don't even have a schedule yet. Do you take it on faith that you will like the selections or can you cancel and get a refund at some point?

    Just a few words about Slingbox. I am not familiar with this product but I gather it is essentially a way to relay TV via the internet. How does this impact this issue? I don't know that it does. The reception of the signal is still being accomplished at the same location. In some respects...

    Dish Network: Distant Networks

    We are not talking about OTA. We are talking about satellite delivery. You do understand that E* and D* are satellite television companies, don't you? The signals ARE encrypted. That is why you have to subscribe to them. That is why you need a receiver. E* is just a delivery mechanism...

    I give up. You don't get it and are never going to get it. Your second paragraph shows that you don't even have a grasp of how DBS works. If it were as you say, why do you need E* or D*? You also have no clue as to how OTA is financed. I may choose to give money to Person X. But that does...

    You guys are still missing the point. Stick up the best antenna you can afford and whatever channels you get you can watch. You do not have a right (constitutional or otherwise) to have a third party steal somebody else's property and provide it to you just because it is "technologically...

    There are many factors in copyright law that go into determining whether infringement has occurred. Your singing the occasional birthday wish squarely falls in the fair use category. Again, it depends what you mean by "information." What do you mean by information? Common facts cannot be...
