    Current TV finds a Buyer?

    More news channels is good news I guess. I just wish it was the BBC News channel or CNN International not something owned by Al Jazeera, they seem one sided in there reporting sometimes. We already have RT Russian News and CCTV China news, guess this will fit right in. Dish needs to put all...

    DirecTv and Dish Network Comparisons

    It mentions the Super Stations as a Dish Exclusive. Then it says it again under the HD Channel range, that the Supers are in there for HD. Does everyone get the Supers in HD now if you sign up and get the SuperStation package?

    Cox Cables now has Digital Simulcast of analog channels

    Emails sent from Cox are now saying Omaha Ne should have some Digital Simulcast done in May. I think Orange County, CA Cox cable is almost all done. This means 100% all digital, and the analog channels still work on the kids TV which is only cable ready (channels 1-80).

    Combine rf channel 3 with ota and satellite

    Iceberg is right, tried it also did not work. You need the combiner so it can cleanly seperate the channels. Channel 3 and 4 will bled over otherwise and cause interference with out the black box combiner.

    ONLY THE NEW YORK market does Simulcast of the Analogs in both digital and analog in some parts of the city. Call them to be sure. No other cities do it yet as there is not enough bandwidth. There DVRs also look bad on the analogs 1-99 as they convert the analog channels to digital...

    How about we make things equal. Cable and Sat. Both have the same Tax and the Same Local carrage rules. If cable can have the local channel so can Dish. everything will be fair.
