Nope, it's perfectly legally. It's just like Sky Angel and Dish, those two aren't affilliated or working actively together.

Dishrich....

I have been thinking about "moving" to an area that still gets DNS., But being a granny here, I am not sure how that works. I mean, if I call D* and give them my "new address", don't they have to come out and do some kind of installation? Or do they just change things over the phone?
You guys (and gals) are all so helpful...Love ya loads...

Hi there, sorry that I missed your question... (BTW, E*=DISH, D*=DirecTV)

Understand there is NO way to qualify for DNS on E* anymore, per se. The only thing you CAN do, would be to "move" to one of the current local markets that currently is NOT spotbeamed. This would be NY, LA, Chicago or Denver. You would ONLY be able to get the main networks from that single markets, but you could get them wherever you travel, as they can be picked up anywhere. HOWEVER, do understand that it is possible that E* might move these signals to spotbeams, which would put you back at square one.

If you decide to go this route, it's pretty simple - call E*, give them your new physical address & tell them to leave your billing address as is & they'll turn on your new networks in minutes. You would NOT need anything changed to any of your equipment or have anyone come out. Do a search on moving & you'll find plenty of info & advice on how to find an address, etc.

NOW, if you want to try & "move" with this new "All American Direct" service, then you would need to talk to them directly & give them an address that is in a "white area", (an area that cannot get local network signals from anywhere) & let them qualify your new address. But judging what others have said so far, IMHO I think I'd wait a bit & see how this "stunt" pans out before I started changing my address.

It may be "legal", but it also obviously at attempt by Dish to circumvent the Florida cour ruling. I suspect that these channels will be shut down in short order.

I applied for all four networks but were only approved for FOX and NBC. Perhaps a better poll would hav been who appiled for NPS and was approved or dispaproved.

I got waivers from NBC and ABC here in LA the 1st time Dish Network shut off the distants back in 2000 or so.
I had NBC Atlanta & Chicago for the Falcons and Bears pre-season games.
I had ABC Atlanta for Southeast college football and basketball - regional.
I had ABC Chicago just because I get sick of LA and NY ABC on DirecTV.

I'll probably drop Dish for good in the next few months and add another DirecTV receiver and go up to 8. I have waivers from ABC, CBS and NBC with DirecTV. With local HD for me for NBC and CBS (FOX is bad and ABC doesn't come in at all) and c/ku band feeds, there's no reason for me to keep Dish except for the MLB games on the supers.

Waivers I scraped together for 5 years go poof. I'm back at square 1.

I'll try after a few days to see if I can get approved.
