I really think you 'PBS' guys and gals will be disappointed by the picture quality. Even OTA, the main channels are sub-par. Once they get a round of Dish MPEG4 added to them, they will look even worse. No broadcast channel should be allowed to have that many sub channels. It defeats the...

I'm Charlie Ergen... Let's watch TV... Oh, and eat spaghetti.

I'm with you on that. I use my OTA alot. Those 4 tuners take a beating on that 722K :)

Nah. I get 29-30 on that spotbeam. But it doesn't go out any worse than the rest of my channels (which is only in a bad storm). If I were you, I would go Shreveport, though. It's way hotter here (about 60). I thought of changing to them, but I don't want to be suspicious.

I'm in West Monroe, but I'm just going to keep my Baton Rouge moved locals. I get the others OTA. One day, I'll switch out, bit I'll just buy my own dish. I have LOS to both arcs. I can buy my own Dish and not have to wait around for an installer.

Can you not get it on Directv in Puerto Rico?

I think they gave the extra day because of HBO-W... If you used it in Central Time for instance (my time zone). You could not have watched Entourage on Sunday night, because it did not air until Monday (12mn) had started and that was part of the point of the free preview weekend. So they just...

And the fun begins...

Yep... I've been modifying channel locks alot lately.

Most of the PBS HD I have seen is poor quality, because they all cram 3 subchannels in their signal. I wish folks wouldn't bitrate starve their main channels.

I think League Pass is done, as all of the playoff games are on TNT, ESPN, ABC, & NBATV.

That show was very hard to listen to, because of the audio problems. Basically, you should see some activity on Monday.

I don't understand. If there is a technical issue, why just swap transponders. Someone please explain.

I use weatherbug on my iphone all the time. Doubt I would watch it on tv, though.

Thanks for that Digi... I had no idea they had more on Eastern Arc. No wonder my HD locals are getting uplinked over there. I have LOS for it too, if I ever move from my house in Baker, LA :) Wherever that is.

I wouldn't switch either. I like Dish for the hardware. I say it all the time... 722K with an OTA module is awesome.

I really posted that for the Direct tidbit. I wasn't expecting them to ever do locals in my market. And yes, Dish has space on a tower downtown where they grab all our HD OTA. If I'm not mistaken, they have to pick it up OTA by law. The best thing about my current combination of Baton...

Emailed my engineer friend at a tv station in town (I'm in radio), regarding the Monroe, LA HD uplink. I won't say his name or where he works, but here was his response. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry, I did not even know they were interested in...

They have our SD on western arc (on 110 to be exact). This is just weird to me that they would want to change that many dishes here. Dish is VERY predominant here, because they are the only provider with our locals (well, other than comcast). Direct doesn't carry them. Maybe that is a...

They are putting our HD locals on Eastern Arc? Monroe-ElDorado We have been Western Arc forever. ALL the HD dishes here are western arc. I don't mind changing, but I can't believe they uplinked them to 77.

If that is the case digi, what would you expect them to do with that slight amount of bandwidth gain? Do some mixture of HD and SD on those transponders to maximize it?
