Hi Guys,

New to the board here... I was just wondering if anyone knows when Fargo, ND will get Locals in HD? I have been just thinking about buying a HDTV OTA antenna. I also heard that it might be at 61.5 So that means I would have to put up another satellite dish on the house. Oh well not that hard to do but my roof is like a very steap hill.

Thanks for your time, Oh i am also redoing my HDTV set that is now mounted to the wall. Once I get done with the project I will put some pictures up here of the finished setup.

I wonder if Dish will be carying NBC and CBS? CableOne lost their ability to broadcast those channels in HD because they were part of a package that cost subscribers extra.

Yea I am wondering too!!!! I called one of our satellite outfits here in fargo and they said they would probably be launching in July and that I would not have to put another satellite at 61.5 west. That when they launch they will just show up in your guide. UMMMMM!!! . Anyone know some more info if I need to put up another dish or not???? :confused:

Also I tried a OTA HDTV indoor antenna and they didn't even come in. I tried to move the antenna everywhere in my home and did not even get signal. I also do live in town.

Sorry for rambling on :)

Thanks,
Shawn

Here's the FCC database for TV stations in the Fargo market. All are in ND except for the one at Barnesville. Click the station ID to go to their specific page. Click on one of the map icons to see the broadcast location and coverage.

TV Query Results -- Video Division (FCC) USA


Here's another map with station locations:

Try a regular rabbit ears (no amp, dials, or anthing else to get in the way). I live in Barnesville and am able to get all channels this way (although I did put up an outdoor antenna in my garage attic).

I know at least on person in Fargo that can get all channels with a DB4 (http://www.antennasdirect.com/DB4_HDTV_antenna.html) in his attic. You may want to give that a try. You probably want to stick with something that is multi-directional. The antenna doesn't have to be an "HDTV antenna", it just has to be good at picking up a UHF signal.

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 like the Jimmy Fallon channel. This will be its third year. I like that it's all fresh each year. Also fun when he pops on live from time to time.

Terrible tragedy. You would think that they would have safe guards in place that would prevent something like this from happening. I guess if you are going to ride in a passenger train it might be best to get a car near the rear.

They will have to look at the switching sections to determine WHY 2 trains were on the same track ... at the same time.
