    WSKY-4 Norfolk to be dropped?

    WSKY-4 Norfolk to be dropped?

When they moved their city of license to reflect both the Outer Banks and a Hampton Roads city, they built a new tower up in Moyock. As you might recall, the tower...

    Newbie D* Questions

    Just switched from E* to D* (MLB EI the reason), but a few questions. I set up two receivers, one the standard box and the other the HDDVR. My local channels for the Outer Banks of NC are defined as the Norfolk-VA ones. On my HD DVR only, I show all of those as well as the Raleigh Durham...
