I'm a DISH/satellite subscriber for just 3 months now, so forgive my ignorance. I do want ABC, NBC, and CBS, and currently, I have the local channels as part of my total package. But, if it's possible, I'd prefer the network feeds, as opposed to the local feeds. I'm not talking about receiving the direct feeds (if that's even still possible) without the commercials, etc, but I'd prefer to receive those channels without the local content "injected". Example: A few nights ago, a recorded broadcast on ABC turned out to be a "late breaking news story" that occurred in Philadelphia. Personally, if I wanted reality thrust in my face, I'd be watching CNN, or listening to KYW (the local all news AM radio station). I chose to record that program to get away from reality. Now, of course, I understand that if a major news event occurs, ABC (or the other networks) will interrupt programming, but it's a lot less likely to happen at a network level, than at the local station level. Trust me. Once we get our first one inch snow fall in Philly, there will be a 12 hour marathon broadcast about it. Are the plows ready? Is the Mayor ready? Will we have enough salt? Who cares? So, that's the logic/reasoning behind my question. So, is there an alternative to "region specific" network channels? Thanks!

You can look into NPS, they offer san francisco & atlanta.

If you have an RV you may qualify to receive those channels if you fill out an RV waiver.

That way if your locals are busy reporting about the snow you can watch the Atlanta feed.

Just a thought

I'm a few hours from Phila, and I get their locals because my area, doesn't have locals available. lol One quick change to my address and I have them.

Cbs Nbc And Abc Networks Feed Fta ?

I LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE i GET NO LOCAL NETWORKS OVER THE AIR. I AM NEW TO FTA AND SO FAR I AM AMAZED AT HOW MANY PROGRAMS I CAN GET. I HAVE SOME PACKAGES FROM THE PROGRAMMING CENTER AND THE QUALITY BLOWS MY DISH NETWORK AWAY. THE DISH DOES NOT WORK IN STORMS, AND THE HD IS TERRIBLE. I AM PLANNING ON CANCELLING THE DNETWORK.
I TRIED TO ORDER THE DENVER NETWORKS PACKAGE AND I WAS TOLD ONLY IF I COULD PROVE I HAD THEM IN THE PAST AND WAS GRANDFATHERED IN.
i LIVE IN THE SIERRA NEVADA FOOTHILLS IN CA AND CAN NOT GET THE LOCALS CBS, NBC, OR ABC STATIONS.
I AM A BROADCAST ENGINEER AND WILL TRY TO GET THE WAIVER LETTERS FROM MY LOCAL STATIONS.
IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET THE NETWORK FEEDS ON THE FTA I AM NOT AWARE OF? :confused:

Those are the terms and I would hope that a broadcast engineer would be intimately familiar with the rules.

LIL are not available via FTA satellite. You might be able to get something from NPS (with DISH Network equipment) or DIRECTV with a waiver.

It would be considered friendly and consistent with netiquette if you would lose the caps lock.

Go to Galaxy 10R at 123.0°W - LyngSat Note that Equity uses MCPC on Ku transponders 1 & 5 for central-casting a number of stations, including a FOX and an ABC.

The original poster said he was considering putting up an OTA to get the NYC affliates. Funny thing is that is basically what NPS did to deliver the Atlanta and San Fran. feeds and the picture quality was just terrible. As a long term distant network LEGAL subscriber, the final nail in Dish's coffin was when I lost NYC and LA nets and was given that garbage from NPS. Picture fade, audio drop outs, black screen caused this long time subscriber to tell charlie to shove it. As you all will recall it was Charlie and Charlie alone that refused to comply with the law that caused the Court to rule that Dish could not offer DNS to ANYONE under ANY condtions. Nice job Mr. Hold-em and Fold-em.

I'm getting fabulous picture on Ch. 148 4k, but zero audio with H713. This is with a recorded show (Notre Dame game). Anyone else have this? Audio is fine on every other channel.

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.

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....

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.

I have gotten back into watching SG-1 and I have recorded most of the episodes to binge watch. What episodes are about the Antarctic or was this a movie? Also where could I watch the SG-1 movies?

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.

If I understand your question, O'Neill had the Ancient's knowledge in the "Lost City" two-part episode. That was when Anubis attacked Earth and there was a big battle over Antarctica.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
