Gee, Scott, I wonder who you could be talking about? I believe the Unofficial Spoksperson didn't blame you, or this site, or that document but simply said that the part about 'subject to change' was omitted and that is what happened. Little defensive no? No, you sure DIDN'T post the...

Right. It sounded like it was bad news for today but seemed like it wasn't too bad in the long run. He did stress there were no issues with the satellite, I believe.

Earl posted a note (wish I could quote it for you) essentially saying that the satellite is fine, but there were a few minor issues and that the Sept 19 had been delayed a little while. That was the crux of it anyway. Any misrepresentation is my fault. He didn't seem to imply weeks or months...

Did they try to get you to get their DVR saying it wont have these problems? I've read of cable compaines (not Insight per se) using defective equipment to get people to just get their DVRs. Some cable companies (again, not accusing Insight here) don't like cable cards...why let the customer...

WXIN FOX 59 in Indy is up and live. HUZZAH! The only one of the big 4 left in Indy is WISHTV (LIN Corp Parent Company). Hopefully they'll feel a little more pressure....

Shady was the wrong word. Illusive is more to the point. I couldn't find any good concrete contact info for them. Most of the other companies had a website or two. 'Mah Bad' :D

Just to add some more information: Tribune Broadcasting URL: http://www.tribune.com Contact Info: Tribune Company 435 North Michigan Avenue Chicago, IL 60611 312.222.9100 HD channels not carried by D*: Seattle - KCPQ (FOX) Sacramento - KTXL (FOX) Hartford - WTIC (FOX)...

I've done some research on these hold out companies and their parent organizations (just some preliminary stuff). KLAS is owned by Landmark Communications URL: http://www.landmarkcom.com/ Contact Info: 150 W. Brambleton Ave. Norfolk, VA 23510 phone: 1.800.446.2004 fax: 757.664.2163...

Instead of complaining to the these two channels, you should complain to their parent company, since they are both owned by the same people. Capitol Broadcasting Company URL: http://www.cbc-raleigh.com/ 2619 Western Blvd Raleigh, NC 27606 Phone: (919) 890-6000 Fax: (919) 890-6095 HD...

Actually, i just looked into some of this and posted a big list of parent companies on dbstalk (http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=68497). It appears that these parent companies are keeping all their HD channels out for the time being. Being in Hartford, you've got to deal with LIN and...

It's important to note that when DirecTV adds HD channels, they'll be actual channels you'd want to watch. There will be none of this Animania HD, Kung Fu HD, or even Equator HD. The HD offerings are a little thin right now, but the strategy of Locals in HD first seems to be paying off. When...

Actually, a number of years ago when I had Dish network, a guy who was doing something to get E* illegally called in to thank Charlie for all the pr0n. *THAT* was an entertaining episode.

Really? I want to be h*$g like a pr0n star and have a million dollar house. Wonder if DirecTV can do anything about that too.... Look, dude, I know it's a shame that you don't have TNT-HD for a few hours. It really is. Let me do some crazy math for you. I paid $300 plus dollars a month for...

Isn't Charlie Chat a Dishnetwork thing? I'd totally watch Charlie on DirecTV....that'd be one interesting show....

Just got my preorder! I was 4th in line. Can't wait to try this puppy out.

There are ways around this which may or may not be legal. You can make digital dubs of songs which does not break any DRM on the files, which may not violate DMCA... I'm not a lawyer, I don't know the legality of it and don't want to get into any trouble with the mods on this forum so I'll say...

Why not just move some where that qualifies for Distant Locals? you could 'move' to nowhere Montana and get locals from LA. Or move to some place out in the middle of nowhere in New England and get NY Locals. Seems like the better 'move'.

Yes....these...'end times'.....People have been saying the world is going to end since man gained the use of speech, so you'll forgive me if I'm in no rush to care. And if there is a god, I doubt 500 channels of shysters, hucksters, liars and theives that are modern religious 'TV pastors'* is...

Call your local station and complain. Then find the parent company and complain. Then call your congressman and complain. Seriously. I've been somewhat of an a$%h#@! to my local channels. Haven't had any movement on them getting on D* but it makes me feel good. Remember, these channels are...

I try to be respectful when it comes to all of these types of channels. People believe what they want and that's fine. But isn't there Sky Angel for this sort of thing? Why not create a 'Divine Choice' package and charge $7.77 for it. (Sorry, couldn't resist) I guess my problem is that i keep...

But no ESPN-HDs or HDNet Movies (Usually good for a couple movies a month). Hm. I've read a number of threads where people have gotten HD free for a period of time. Maybe if I call and politely complain they'll give that one to me. You never know..... I guess if they waive the DVR fee with...

? D*'s promotion of giving you TCP free for 4 months while you pay off that Sunday Ticket has my girlfriend and I thinking about actually keeping TCP after the 'free' period is over. However, I notice that the HD channels are not included. Is that right? That seems kinda silly to me if it...

Still waiting for WISHTV-HD and WXIN-HD in Indianapolis. Anyone in the same boat should contact both stations and demand they get their acts together and "sign on the line that is dotted" with D*. You can contact Fox59 here...

really, honestly, all I want to do is have my physicall address changed so that my Colts games in HD on Sunday Ticket SF are not blacked out. (There are rumors they won't be blacked out anyway). Are sports blackouts determined by your location or what local channels you have? When I tried to...

I just tried moving and everything was going swimmingly. The CSR told me that D* didn't provide locals in my area (really? :D ) and I asked what could be done and the CSR told me I'd have to apply for a waiver. Then the CSR told me that it would be 45 days before anything could be granted. Is...
