    Any update on the mysterious channel 213 "local weather" channel that was promised?

    I agree with this. I used to always watch local on the eights, but there is no need for it anymore. if there is any really bad weather out there, local news interrupts as it is too. i'm not even sure how D* does it and i'm a sub. with internet/local news/mobile apps, i have no use of twc...

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    I used to live in that area, out in Castaic. I was able to get analog TV with bunny ears out there 10 years ago, you should at least give an outdoor antenna an attempt if you have something laying around

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    oh okay. when I saw the cablevision story, I thought Fox had already gone dark on Dish. What is the point of the dispute if Fox isn't even dropping the channels on Dish then? Sorry, I haven't been keeping up

    So where does DISH advertise more then just a token...

    E*'s ads have always seemed like they were produced by a high school television production class. They are worse quality than the filming local programming does. Not to mention they show them nonstop if you are an E* sub. I hardly see them now.

I don't think he is under a contract because he moved 3 years ago and that was the last time he has done anything with the account. He wants to upgrade to HD and stay with E*, but will they charge him to upgrade to an HD DVR, a...

    The Weather Channel is worthless

    I think I stopped watching TWC when I stopped using cable. I loved weather on the 8s, but obviously I don't get that anymore. I just stopped paying attention to the channel and have used the internet for my weather over the past few years

    World Cup on ABC sound issues - US v Ghana

    It is recognized by your receiver as DD, but they are really broadcasting Circle Surround 5.1 which is a faux surround sound. they just retransmit signals into the rear channels to give it an effect. ESPN Dolby Digital 5.1 = SRS Circle Surround - AVS Forum I am not sure about ABC's...

    DISH loses 4 more HD channels - 3 Return

    the world series would have lower ratings if new york and Philly weren't in it. especially new york. NBA finals also have lower ratings if LA vs Boston isn't the matchup
