I'm a current Dish subscriber who's "moved" and my service address is Cleveland. Therefore, I get all the Indians games from STO, and the Browns from the local affiliates, and the Cavs on FSN Ohio.
But the bad news is Dish does not carry the Cleveland locals in HD. Is it as easy to "move" with D* as it is with E*?
It looks like E* will not be carrying the Cleveland locals until it shoots a few new sats next year, then who knows when it'll happen after that?
If I read it right, I switch to D*, "move" to Cleveland, and I get the locals in HD, as well as all 3 sports teams?
Is it that easy to get what I want?

Now that all the little "holier-than-now-watch-ONLY-REAL-local-channels-do-gooders" have spoken... 
(guess they all came over from the other site)
It should be, as long as your location falls within the Cleveland spotbeams. Also, do be aware that the HD spots may vary from the SD spots. (could be more or less) How far away are you from Cleveland would help to tell us. I assume that you currently are getting the Cleveland locals thru E* with no problems.
Don't worry about all the little naysayers - I've moved on BOTH systems since at least 2001 & haven't lost a night's sleep yet, & probably won't for the foreseeable future.

And please tell us how THAT stops people from "moving" - the ONLY thing is does is tells E* ALL the receivers on an account ARE in the SAME house. (to stop "stacking", which is NOT the same thing as moving - geeze... )

Simple, if you say you have a particular box at your house, but you really don't, then you can't give them the numbers they want. Simple.

I hope you're NOT installing dishes for a living...
WHAT difference DOES it make where the box IS - the ID number generated is NOT dependent on WHERE it is actually LOCATED at. The ONLY thing that DOES matter, is that those numbers DO change & you must be able to read them off AT THE TIME they are calling you about them. It makes NO difference WHATSOEVER if you & your receiver(s) are at your house, 50 miles away, 500 miles away, 2000 miles away, in a hotel, girlfriends house, whorehouse, camper, car, etc - as long as you can see your receiver screens is the ONLY thing that matters.
Sorry, but receiver audits will NOT stop movers, unless they start sending people out to your place to find you...

Every one here seems to have one opinion or another. Is it breaking the law to "move"... sure it is. How many people posting on this very thread have installed software on their computers that they did not purchase but got from a friend or family member? No one alive has not broken software piracy laws, and piracy does include installing software you did not purchase, not just copying it and giving it away or selling it.
How many people posting on this very thread do exactly the speed limit when they drive and not one mile per hour over? Again... not one can make that claim. Everyone under the age of 65 does at least 5mph over posted speed limits.
If D* had any problem with subscribers "moving" it would not be so easy to do, and you would hear of people getting busted, like you do with E* subscribers when they get audited. But D* is sticking up for what they believe is the customers' right to not be stuck with watching just their local DMA's channels. Before the Networks got the FCC to tighten the laws on this, it was not a big deal. So why do the networks want you to watch only your local DMA? Money. They feel they lose on advertising if Dallas becomes the DMA of choice for the majority customers to watch rather than New York. My local DMA does not want me watching car dealer advertisements from Chicago, because the Ford Dealer in Grand Rapids pays good money to be advertising on my local channels.
Why should we be forced to watch what others want us to watch? We should have a right to choose what we want to watch.
If you like not having rights to watch what you want, keep on talking about how people are breaking the law by "moving". Because D* does not make a big deal of it, and neither does the FCC.
We are not talking about stealing satellite signal here. We are not talking about having the ability to watch every DMA in the country. What we are talking about is the right to choose what DMA we want to watch.
And if you are accusing those of us who have in the past, or are thinking about "moving", remember to check your speedometer the next time your on the free-way.
Have a great day!
P.S. The way a zip code to get instantly qualified for the New York locals is 04769!

You are either full of &%^t or I am not alive. I have never stolen ANY software, if I want it, I buy it. Just because YOU are a thief does NOT mean everyone is. Some of us have never stolen ANYTHING in our lives, but sounds like you were raised differently or just its convenient for your desire to be a thief to attempt to rationalize your behavior in this way.
Same as above, you are making some really rash assumptions to justify breaking laws. I am under 65, never have had a speeding ticket and do NOT speed.
If that can be proven and is widespread as you think it is, E* is guilty of conspiracy to break federal laws, which I think the FCC and DOJ have proven they are not exactly going to like. E* has had problems in the past and they no longer carry national channels because they are not allowed to.
Because the law says so? Go ahead, break any laws you don't agree with, and when you find yourself on a vacation at taxpayer's expense, think of it as a respite, not jail / prison time.
If you seriously think the FCC doesn't care, you are sadly mistaken.
And dayum the laws, eh? I guess it would be OK with you if I come and steal your car even though its against the law. Same logic, I choose to not obey the theft laws and if you try to stop me, I'll just shoot you as I see murder laws as pretty silly to boot. That would be fine with you, right?
Always do, but thanks for the reminder. Also, I always remember to check the gas, tires, etc.,, but thanks for reminding me.
Always do, don't have to worry that I am going to be arrested for breaking the law like some people who are thieves ought to be feeling.
What do you do when they send the bill to Maine, hijack a plane so you can fly up and retrieve it or do you have one of your crooked friends there forward it to you committing mail fraud as well?
It must be easy to live with no ethics, but no doubt in my mind you are one of the people who whine if the laws are not observed by others. Only the laws you like, naturally.

Slingbox in from your home in Maine and get the ID off the screen in DC to give to the auditor. Don't have time to slingbox in? The auditor wants the number right now?" Sorry, I haven't got access to the room, they are painting it and the box is unplugged and covered with a tarp. I can call you back later tonight" (when I slinglbox in to my Dish 622 and get you the info from the screen you are crying about.)
So many work arounds... why people worry about an audit is beyond me.

It seems the phone gets locked into Sat mode. A software patch is coming to avoid that pitfall, but it comes too late for those who already fell in.

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....

I'm surprised Walmart hasn't banned this guy from all of their stores. He has been on their CASE the past few months.

I would think that all the packaging would already be accounted for ... they weigh the container, subtract that from the scale, then add the product , so its weighing the Product onlyUnless the specific product or its packaging is known at the time of weighing, estimating the tare weight for a PoS system is a tall order.
I'm pretty sure that produce bags can't get any thinner.
You certainly don't want to put unbagged produce on a belt, scale, or in a clerk's hands (gloved or not).

I've always been super interested in things space related so this is a pretty cool event coming up. Nov 18, 2026 early in the morning, Voyager 1 will reach the distance of one full light day from Earth. Took almost 50 yrs. I was 13 when it launched.

I know HipKat said that they were working on conversions but we got the official news yesterday right from Dish that starting next month all DMA's will be on the western arc, and all customers will be assigned to that. That's gonna mean a lot of customers around here aren't gonna get Dish unless there are exceptions. Too many mountains and trees.

Now that I'm retired, obviously I have different health care insurance. I take 2 prescriptions. With my old insurance I didn't have to pay for either of them, now I do. It's not a huge amount but it led me to dig a little into the cost of prescription medications. I have been using Walgreens for the longest time. But what I found was that Walgreens price is 4.8 times more for one of my prescriptions and the other is 2.3 percent more compared to the lowest price pharmacy. If you pay for prescription medications you might want to have a look at trumprx and see if you can get a lower price.

Actually I take just 2 prescriptions, Atorvastatin and Lisinopril. They cost me $6 each for 100 pills. Next year that will be nothing.That's ok. I probably take enough for the two of us.
God knows what Bobby takes. Maybe so much they count as a meal?
