This kind of thing is a nightmare for anyone who uses a device such as Tivo, Tablo or the DISH OTA adapter to record from the antenna. The guide built into my Sony still does not know where the local FOX affiliate and their sub-channels went due to the shuffle to accommodate ATSC 3.0.
It may even take a while to get straightened out for satellite supplied locals. This seems to be one area that is better handled by a local cable company as they have personnel actually on site.

That explains why WYFF moved their tower a year or two ago. Upstate SC had a hard time receiving their signal even though they are our local. If they did not that would make two networks very hard to pick up. I will rescan on the Zapper box Aug 1 and report any changes to the Greenville market.

Nope. Satellite (Directv for sure) already knows and will have them ready to go on the 1st

Greenville SC: CBS is moving to a subchannel of Hearst's WYFF, WSPA/7 is switching to CW (CW is currently on Nexstar's WYCW/62)

This was reported by "TheDesk.net", but it has not been confirmed that WSPA/7 is switching CW programming to their signal.

A Nexstar spokesperson said that the multi-year agreement with CBS to extend its affiliations in 36 markets was reached this month.

The spokesperson said, "We will be replacing the CBS affiliation with a CW affiliation in at least three markets (Jackson, MS, Bismarck, ND and Rapid City, SD) and promoting FOX to replace CBS as our primary network in Albuquerque, NM. We will be elevating the CW affiliations from the digital subchannels they currently occupy to a premiere slot widely available over-the-air and across all major paid platforms. In addition, we look forward to expanding our local news in Greenville/Spartanburg, Birmingham, and several of these markets with the new scheduling flexibility these transitions will afford."

This implies WSPA is going Independent. If that is the case they very well may lose some carriage completely. YTTV for example doesn't usually carry Independent stations. They dropped WCCB in Charlotte for example when they went Independent.

Just did a rescan with my Zapperbox. Getting four 4.1's all with the same programming. I erased all chanells and still get the same result. All the ATSC are showing different formats, well pairs actually. They are showing to differnt things in the info. Two are showing HDR10 and two are showing AHDR. power is up also on that frequency. Still just using a VHF high antenna even though all are UHF. Getting to be a old man with problems, would be more than willing to pay someone in Upstate SC, to give me a hand raising my two Telves antennas.

Yes, a much better start to the season than last. With a Whovian reference, too!😉

Loved this episode. Not only had time travel, but they were instrumental in the death of the dinosaur and an explosion that takes out the 5th planet that is now the asteroid belt and lead to the orbit of Mars moving further out away from the sun, sealing its fate as a dead planet in our time. So the Enterprise was always supposed to go back 65 million years. So much for the prime directive in this situation. :cool:

The bend-your-brain part was the not only was the Enterprise always supposed to go back 65m years, but that it always had.

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....

Here we go again-

Comcast lost another 280,000 TV Subscribers, along with 167,000 internet customers.

Charter-

Video customers decreased by 21,000 in the second quarter and 172,000 for Internet.

The broadband losses are actually quite bad for both Comcast/Charter, since that is the more profitable part of their business.

dishdude
I wonder how much Starlink is impacting those internet customers, I know the 5G offerings definitely are.

Fiber also, Charter is/was really big here in Florida, Quantum (AT&T) and Frontier(Verizon) moved into their territory, has been really successful in getting customers to switch.

Maybe Cable companies should rethink their strategy to attract new customers and to keep them. The old plan of announcing new fees for things you never had before after you subscribe and hiking the price every 6 months to a year is not working. Or they could continue to circle down the drain till they go under. At this point I don't really care as long as there is competition that can provide you with their services at lower prices. :smug

A skinny bundle with minimal fees would probably get them a few more years, but the corporate conglomerates that own the networks won't allow it. They're going to milk every penny out of 3 FXs, 6 MTVs, 7 ESPNs...all playing content available on Pluto.

Wasn''t a radio optional on cars back in the 60s-70s?

When I bought my new 96 Geo Metro a stereo was optional. I declined as I worked at Radio Shack and had a 'big pimpin' stereo and speakers I could put in instead ;)

I'm so old i remember when auto trans and A/C were options tape players were options as well as cd players. i think even the rug on the floor was an option i think. you could get a ford escort for 5 to 6 k stripped with a stick shifter. and with all of this self driving BS coming just think what will hapen when you miss a payment it will drive itself back to the lot.:biggrin:biggrin

Your not that old ... if your saying A/C was an option.
I remember when there was no A/C option ...
Do you remember when you had to hand crank the windows (I'm sure you do).

So you bought a xxxxbox that came with no radio as standard equipment( Geo - a collaboration, or should i say an abomimation between Chevy and Suzuki)and want to hold it up as a typical standard vehicle of the era?

C. The unit gmhad a pre-cook period before you could crank it up . Even with only 2 little vents in the front seat of the car us kids GREATLY appreciated it.

Actually, I can't seem to add the locals back to my account to check right now - when I go to add it and I submit the changes, it shows that I have added 1802 local channels (the whole country) and nothing happens. Something must be wrong with their website. :)
This is what happens to me. I came back to DISH about two months ago and have the Top 200 without locals and of course am under a two year commitment. I thought it would be interesting to add locals, at least for a month (hopefully could drop them if disappointed). I am getting a signal of about 65 on both 110 and 119.
I have tried three times over the past week to add locals through the MY Dish web site (on the computer). I get a quote of how much the bill will go up and then hit "submit changes". I then see on the screen, "check out these sweet 1800 channels". I wish! Nothing ever happens. I have done a "update guide" and "reset receiver" through diagnostics/ tools and even unplugged the Hopper for half an hour.
I also think it would be standard practice to send an email when a customer makes a programming change, but I have received none. I guess I don't feel it is worth having to call or chat and am writing it off as "sour grapes" but am still curious as to what may be wrong.
Since I am under a contract, am I forbidden from making any programming changes, or woiuld I loose my "new customer" promotions if I were to add and then delete locals? It would all be useful information for anyone in such a situation.

Call the DISH number and talk to a CSR and ask them to add your locals. Fastest way is to ask for TECH department and tell them your issue and I am sure that they can add them and tell you when to expect them in your guide.

I had issues recently trying to make a programming change on the Dish website. I switched to the mobile app and it worked great - no issues.

What is the best price for the locals. Under contract with the 200 package. I went to add the locals. The price was $14.00 minus a $2.00 discount. I was just pricing but did not subscribe. My new contract is up 8/17. Has any done better upon contract renewal.
I don't have a problem using the module until the fall season starts. It's a battle between me and my wife. Guess who wins.
