IS It Legal to have Local From Dish and DNS from AAD at the same time?

I am kind of lost. I have DNS from AAD, but I can't get CBS. I want CBS for football coverage. I can get CBS in a local package. Some tell me having both local and DNS is legal. Some say no, it is not legal. I can go to each website of Dish and AAD. They indicate what I can qualify for. At best I am confused, but do not want to get into trouble for violating federal law. I have heard local stations have way of monitoring customers accounts to see what networks they have. What is the prevailing opinion on this matter? Also for those who have local with Dish and Distant from AAD, please indicate how long you have had it, and if there have been any challenges filed against you by local affiliates. Thanks

I don't think the customer has any legal concerns when getting local or DNS channels. It's up to the provider to properly qualify customers as to whether they're legally allowed to have the channel.

I'm confused about your CBS options. Does Dish offer you CBS but AAD won't ?? Not sure how that's possible... Someone's address databases must be screwed up. Unless your local CBS is the only local available in your market from Dish.

Distant Networks other then AAD

This has probably been covered before and I apologize if it has, but if you are a Dish customer with a Dish 500, can you pick up other local stations from other DMA's other then your own, if you aim the Dish at the right angle? Specifically for me I live in North Central Idaho and am in the Spokane, WA DMA. I am currently subscribing to Spokane locals as well as CBS, Fox and NBC from All American Direct. However if I can, I would like to try to pick up locals out of Portland, OR because I have family down there and at one time I was in that DMA and used to get those locals.

I dont know who this was intended for (me or the OP) but in my case our CBS in Minneapolis (WCCO) has 2 full powered satellite stations. One in Alexandria (about 2 hours NW of Mpls in Douglas County..KCCO) and one a good 4 hours away in Walker, MN (KCCW). KCCW is up near the top of the DMA where KAWE is and is considered grade B where our cabin is. The rest of the networks from Minneapolis are available on low powered translator stations about 35 miles west of us.

So in my case pre DNS shutoff I did legally qualify for both Minneapolis locals and DNS minus CBS. I think the OP sounds like he is in the same boat

Don't know.... I think your situation, and his if it's the same, are rather unique, are they not ??

Mr Tony

Sep 5, 2007

yeah they are unique. Its kinda weird to see 3 full power stations (2 satellite stations) across the market. Most areas have the stations centered in one area. Heck in the northern part of our DMA there is no NBC OTA.

It all depends on whta sat and spotbeam the portland dma is on. If it is on 110 or 119 and the spotbeam footprint reaches your area then yes you can "move" to portland and get those locals. you would lose spokane and as long as you do not tell AAD you moved you can keep those DNS chanels. As to the legality it is a sore spot of debate on the forums. There those who belive it is ilegal under fraud laws. But undr SHEVRA te person breaking the law is the sat company and only if they continue to provide you locals they know you are not elgible for. Example would be you move E* provides you the locals you moved to,then they find out you move but continue to provide the dma you are not living in.

Moving is a violation of your TOS with E* but i do not know what they wil do if they catch you.

You can find the spot beam maps ans sat info at this site.

Not too unique. Hagerstown, MD is just as bad. Only an NBC and ind. anywhere near it, yet it's technically part of the DC market, even though the DC stations don't reach Hagerstown.
This allows Hagerstown people to get DC stations from Dish, and Distances (except for NBC) from AAD.

Sep 6, 2007

I dont think I am even going to try then. I dont want to lose what I already have. Especially the distant locals from All America Direct, because I enjoy getting the occasional Oakland A's game on Fox on Saturdays, and I am also a huge Oakland Raiders fan.

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed

Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner

The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.

Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Well, there are a couple involving the Antarctic. "Solitudes", S1 E17 (one of my favorites), Then, "Lost City', S7 E21 and E22. Then, in the SGA pilot, "Rising", S1 E1 and E2, it starts out in the Antarctic for about the first 20 minutes or so.

Song Name Game Part 3!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne

Get it?

An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Season 2 order already in hand:

'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1

I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

Yeah, the foot stuff was just nasty. I kept thinking of how dirty her feet would get traipsing around shoe-less. Funny, I love being shoe less at home and never wear shoes indoors in my home for long, but seeing her laying on all her furniture with her bare feet hanging out just kind of grossed me out.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.

I don't recall that they came out just before hopper, but rather that they came out even before 722. Or could be thinking of 921.
