    OTA locals w/Dish on 1 cable question

    While all the stations are located on South Mountain, I'm in north Phoenix, about 30 miles from there. Also, one of the channels I want the most is technically a low power station (although it is as powerful as a low power station can be...). So back to my original question, can I run the pre...

    OTA locals w/Dish on 1 cable question

    OK, I know with a diplexer(?) it will work, but the potential fly in the ointment is my OTA antenna is the Channel Master Stealthtenna 3010 w/pre amp (yes I need the amplifier). The power block for the pre amp is rated at 18VDC 70mA. How will that work or will/can it work? I don't think the LNB...

    FIRST Look - New DISH Network Basic Remote

    SWEET!!! I'll try it when I get home. Perhaps someone ought to inform the CSR's about this. They are the ones that told me, on more than one occasion, there was no way to directly access sub channels. They told me the only was to go to the primary channel and use the up arrow to access -2, -3...

    I'm saving $5 for 12 months

    I called Dish last month to complain about the $5 a month subscription increase. The CSR told me that while there was a price increase, that it was offset by the free movie channels they were giving free for 12 months. I told him that I wanted that (movie channels) offer turned off so that I...

    BBC World News TV Channel

    FYI, Al Jazeera English is available FTA on Galaxy 19. I prefer it to CNN for international news stories. Count me +1 for an international news pkg. I do miss BBC World News as well as CNN International.

    Antenna OTA Signal Strength with OTA Module

    It is amazing how many more locals you get OTA. I've always wondered why local cable companies don't inclued all of them. Do they have to pay any sort of fee to rebroadcast locals? If not, why don't they?

    I'm both happy and sad. Happy I have something to watch on my local RSN but sad, very sad that it is still about 95% in SD. No change there. And yes, my FSA is up and working already.

    OTA question

    I get my locals OTA, period. I have had locals removed from my pkg. saves me $4 a month. While all my 36 local stations/sub-stations are listed in the guide after scaning for OTA (VIP211K w/OTA module), it is only the 'digital service' posted, no programing offered in the guide. Of course, here...

    What Will Dish Offer Paying Customers?

    These post about having to call or chat with a CSR to perhaps get a credit of some sort shows me the complete ineptness of Dish. Remember the old saying "the squeaky wheel gets the grease"? Well, if Dish were in control of itself, there wouldn't be such confusion with credits,..or lack of. In a...

    That is certainly your option. For 'me', If my cost doubles in 20 years, but I'm guaranteed peace of mind from program channel dropping, so be it. I answered chuckster's post with real numbers from a real case to expose what D* & E* consider 'unreasonable'. Just to remind us how reasonable or...

    ...and if my bill ONLY goes up $10 over the next ... (How long is the standard contract for, 3 years?) ... 3 years for a top tier of programing, and it eliminates any channels being dropped, I don't think that's 'unreasonable', but that's my personal opinion.

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    I don't know about this dispute, but in the Versus and D* dispute, D* was 'protecting me' from an 'unreasonable' increase of 20%. Sound familiar. Turns out, 20% increase on the tier I was a sub to amounts to $.05. That's right, a nickel. To be fair, Versus wanted to raise the rate from $.20 per...

    FCC needs to get involved now

    Actually, in a way, this is already the case. The auto manufacturers are already forcing you to buy options bundled. Try to order a base car (any manufacturer) that doesn't have say cruise control and tell the salesman you want factory installed CC. Nope, won't happen. If you want factory...

    Yeah, D* had to do the same during the Versus issue. I think it's got something to do with false advertising if they don't pull them from the websites channel line up while they are not offering them.

    How come Charlie is so willing to broadcast the telephone number to the presedent of Fox, but will only broadcast his email addy, ... to his own subs? I don't think that's a very nice way to treat YOUR customers, Charlie. If it's good to broadcast a direct line to Fox corprate, you should at...
