The main problem of why distant feeds are prohibited= SILLY EXCLUSIVITY RULES! I wish the FCC eliminates them. Sorry NAB, I hate bad news! ;)

In Canada, the US broadcast networks blackout certain American programs that Canadian networks broadcast. Like sports for example. I've heard of CanCon (Canadian Content law). I'm glad that I got a Slingbox for Christmas so I might set up my M1 at a mutual friend's house in Charleston, SC so I...

Sadly carriage disputes of cable networks are too common and controversial. I wish there was a REFORM :(

All I have to say is Hell will be breaking loose! Blackouts by Broadcasters/Cable networks are getting too common, and the madness hasn't stop. In the new STELAR bill, they're reforming Retransmission Consent.

I bet Rupert Murdoch's face is turning red like TinkerBell when she gets mad! Same story for the corrupted NAB too! LOL :) Much better ruling just like they're trying to avenge Aereo's death. That's different.

Depends, some disputes last one week or more or even a month like the CBS blackout for rival TWC subscribers last August.

Patrick Stewart subscribing to E* LOL! :)

CBS should stand for Corporate Bullying System.

I'm offended.

Tell you an honest confession Iceberg, Degrassi hasn't been the same since Miriam McDonald left two years ago. I've follow her on Twitter Miriam McDonald (OfficialMiriamM) on Twitter and she celebrated her 25th birthday weeks ago. I've told her happy birthday and she said thanks for the birthday...

Here's my thoughts on the possible future feud between DISH/SBG since my local ABC and MyNetworkTV are owned by them. For DISH Network subscribers, since we used to be subscribers until 2009. Also, I care about the people not greed and the controversial retransmission consent curse.

I'm glad I'm not with E* anymore but here's my thought. Another victim of ex-Senator John Danforth's Retransmission Consent Curse. I live in the Greenville, SC DMA where my local ABC and MNT is owned by Sinclair. Unfortunately, I can't get WLOS 13 over the air a lot, and those who can't get...

It's John Danforth's fault for putting Retransmission Consent clause into the 1992 Cable Act. I'm glad I'm not with DISH anymore.

Yes I'm tired of retransmission-consent disputes and people pointing fingers and calling them greedy. I wish the FCC would do something rather "Don't give a darn!" frown.

I meant to say I'm NOT going into politics about it. BTW, I had a health scare earlier this afternoon. I had a dizzy spell after I slept for around 12 hours and took my medicine when I got up before that with diet soda. After I got up around almost 1pm, I went to the bathroom, had a dizzy spell...

Dish is not alone. Now ATT joined the ride. You know Retransmission-Consent is getting controversial and common recently. I'm going into politics about it. Sorry :)

Are you talking about WCVB 5 (ABC) and WHDH 7 (NBC)?

One person you can blame for bringing the 20 year "Retransmission Consent" rules into the 1992 Cable Protection Act is ex-Senator John Danforth (R-Missouri). You can blame the NAB as well.

I live in the Greenville, SC market (#36). Asheville, North Carolina and Toccoa, Georgia are part of this market. Nielsen's DMA system is frustrating. I disagree with the network non-duplication/syndicated exclusitivy rules. But in the Greenville, SC market they're news they broadcasted I would...

Well 2010 has been a notorious and not a great year for program carrier contract disputes. Cablevision lost WABC from NYC, but resolved. Months later, they taken away WNYW (FOX) and WWOR (MNT) and FOX related networks. It was resolved. Simular story when E* resolved the FOX dispute. Then ATT...

A question for Ron Ron, how did you get your distant network feeds through AAD? Are you grandfathered or can't get local channels over-the-air?

I agree with you on All American Direct (now Sobongo) delivering DNS feeds.

National channels like Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, and ION has West coast feeds on satellite providers. That's a different story. ;) Viewers on the west coast for example will have to watch delayed broadcasts of national network news at 6:30pm Pacific (depending on market)...

According to the law on RVs, Recreational Vehicles are NOT eligible for local-into-local services. You have to get the east and west coast SD feeds of the four networks and one HD feed of the four networks based on your home timezone.

In the UK, you have to pay a license to buy a TV set. That's the law there. Glad we don't have TV License here in the USA. But having no choice (or forced) to watch our DMA we live in on satellite is UnAmerican. My market (Greenville/Spartanburg/Anderson,SC/Asheville, NC) is a split market. The...
