I am a brand new DISH network customer residing in the Savannah, GA DMA. Due to line of sight issues with the western arc at my home, my technician had to do an eastern arc installation. Unfortunately, the Savannah, GA local channels are only transmitted on the western arc (119 and 129).
I have attempted to receive locals over the air by checking tvfool.com and trying several antennas, but I live in the middle of nowhere and can't receive OTA without a massive antenna at least 50 feet in the air. All American Direct only does Distant Networks on the 119 satellite, so that's also a dead end for me.
It seems my only options for receiving local programming is to wait until DISH decides they want to mirror the locals over to the eastern arc (who knows when, if ever, that will happen) or "move" to a nearby location and receive those locals.
What are the consequences/ramifications if I get caught "moving"? It seems several people do it and I don't see the big deal if I pay the $5 for the out of market locals, but will I face any criminal or civil liability if DISH catches me? How should I go about this (where should I move)? Do I need to know someone in another market and use their address?
I'm tempted to wait to see if that new Quezstat (sp?) satellite that will be launched in August will fix my problem, but I must have locals this fall for football season.
Any advice or recommendations would be much appreciated. I'm new to all this, but feel like I've learned a lot reading this forum.

use GREAT caution if you EVER need a box replaced.
For many years i used a public school address in oil city pa, they were one of my customers. i figured they would never be a legit sub.
had to replace a box once ands despite my instructions E rep sent box to my physical;( they called and asked why did dish ship a box of yours to us
I ended up driving 5 hours, 2.5 hours each way to get my box and gave the school a free service call.
the school said i wasnt the only one doing this, they had gotten 5 boxes last i checked....
so move back home before RMA a box

That is simple he just has to change the service address before he calls or chats w/ them.

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.Terrible tragedy.

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 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.
