I was wondering how long Dish Network has carried the standard definition feed of INSP? I noticed on INSP's website, for Dish Network, INSP advises viewers of platforms to contact provider when not available and for Dish, there is a link to send a request form for Dish to carry the HD signal...

Could Dish subs there actually purchase 2 local markets? Or was the price inclusive of 2 markets? If its a 1 for 1 swap, I doubt existing local subs lost channels. Or all of a sudden one morning woke up to a new set of locals from a different market. :) I know someone in Princeton with NY...

A lot of the Comcast systems that carry WGN were inherited systems. Many Comcast systems around Comcast's HQ in Philadelphia don't carry it at all, even as Comcast added channels like Oxygen to digital tiers to compete with DirecTV and Verizon. Comcast still views WGN as similar to what...

WGN is cheap but the parent owner Tribune isn't aggressive in requiring Dish or DirecTV to keep it in any of the most viewed/low-end packages. Compare that, to Viacom/TV Land, where Viacom insists that their channels well, a certain number of them, reach the most HH, whether it be basic...

Good list. If one has had an existing Tivo, one can get lifetime for $299 as part of a MSD discount. Itd be nice if TiVoHD had a better 16:9 EPG, updated UI. While familiarity is a nice thing and the UI of TiVo is decent, I don't get how TiVo introduced TiVoHD with the same UI as the Series I...

They show "Cheers" reruns at midnight; "Frasier"at 10-11. Other than that, its not worth much, but its an alternative to CW and MyNetwork if you already receive those with locals. I tend to keep "King of the Hill" on Cartoon Network on at 10-11, if nothing else is on, so in my case, usually...

It doesn't have that much original programming. Looks like mostly reruns, including most of their evening lineup. Even some of their reruns like "The Jeffersons", it comes on TV Land and WPIX. They do carry "Sanford & Son". It looks like most of their classic TV stock could go to WGN, and...

Maybe Dish could just buy TiVo? The benefit could be for the name/goodwill, IP property, ending a lawsuit, marketing and competitive advantage (to DirecTV). TiVo has name and supporter loyalty and recognition. And while Dish's DVRs may be better, the average customer tends to first look...

I don't know but I think OTA only population (that has money to spend too) might exist for city dwellers, esp. those who spend a lot on rent/housing and then look for ways to save. Also, cable tends to be pricier in the cities, and satellite might not be an option. Though I know ppl who...

your point is valid On the point of using the 722 for OTA (and what I meant as a means of OTA without necessarily tied back to Dish programming because then the Dish service stipulation trumps), I called Dish sales and inquired about purchasing the 722 as a nonexisting programming services...

It's an MCard (1 card) that you get from your cable company. If your cable company doesn't offer those, as seen with Verizon Fios in some areas, then you get 2 cards. Also, with digital OTA, which you started discussing as your intent, TiVo doesn't require cards. TiVo is a product solution for...

Other 1 station markets: St.Joseph (KQTV) Zanesville (WHIZ) St.Joseph is close to(50-60 miles) Kansas City, and Zanesville is close (50-60) to Columbus. However, some of the bigger cities: Philadelphia, Boston, Washington and Tampa have a single network affiliate (submarket) station absorbed...

Every year Nielsen shifts a dozen or so counties around. If you notice they are always very sparsely populated counties (TV HH usually under 30,000). I've seen that Dorchester co. MD shift back and forth before. Im thinking by coming up with a list every year, its to keep the...

Regarding the Salisbury MD DMA, a couple negating factors are that 1.Verizon Fios recently started in several communities. With Fios already competing with Comcast, it unfortunately diminishes sat TV purpose in that area. 2. Low flat terrain. So, you have some that can put up an antenna, get...

In addition, WLVT 39 (PBS) Allentown/Bethlehem is anticipating carriage within the next few weeks. So, the Allentown PBS and Atlantic City NBC, hmm...I hope WYBE 35 will also be restored, and WYNE-25 (NYC TV) to the NYC locals. Looking at lyngsat, I noticed only 7 stations on tp23 110 which is...

For many PBS stations and NCE stations, providing a fiber feed becomes a significant financial consideration, though it appears some PBS stations have done it from far (where OTA signal doesn't reach at all and they are based more than 50 miles from the sat company's POP). I've heard estimates...

I was watching the PIX news at 10 yesterday and the picture looked a little blurry and overall not sharp. Not as sharp as WWOR. Anyone else notice this possible pq issue w/ WPIX?

I'm into studying markets and media, so that's why this intrigues me a bit. I bet the best way to get on is to a. be owned by a big station group, and b. don't ask for payment for either signal, and just elect retrans to get the second channel carried. I'm wondering because of the examples...

I emailed the station and the GM said Dish has provided them w/ a launch date of 3.18.09. Ok lets see and wait on that.

In NJ, they intend on covering most municipalities...although I see they avoided Camden. When FIOS started TV services here, Comcast figured they need to add a number of channels that it was missing, including Oxygen. I know Dish did the same thing as they figured it was a way to...

Another difference between Comcast and FIOS....although not a biggie... Although Fios carries MusicChoice as well as Comcast, one can only listen to MusicChoice online from a cable (e.g. Comcast) high speed internet source, and not Fios source.

How did you get that--Any way I could request that?

I have Fios in NJ and have been mostly satisfied. Couple issues though: 1. Getting a second phone line. No promotion for it, and it goes at Verizon's standard rates, which is of course, where they make money...., plus if you want to add long distance to it it becomes another hassle. In...

Yeah, I know their intent is for NJ (as they are funded by NJ taxpayers), but because satellite uses the Nielsen DMA because the language of the law indicates so, NJN by situation winds up available for all New York DMA and Philadelphia DMA viewers... even on cable, Philadelphia and some outlyng...

Thanks...thats what I thought, a carriage complaint looked to be the only way for the station to voice concern at this point. I'm thinking Dish thinks this buys them time as that whole process takes time (station filing complaint, FCC reviewing it..), and Dish doesn't suffer a financial...
