Ok, so here's the situation I'm in. I live in a condo with shared community dish. I've had Dish with locals for about 18 months, signed up for HD last summer and got the 722 Receiver. At the time they didn't have my local channels in HD so I went out and got a powered antenna and pick the channels up decently, but not always perfect. And its a pain to remember to turn the antenna power on for it to DVR stuff and what not, it gets no signal at all without it powered on.
Well anyways, Dish now carry three of my local channels in HD (Madison, WI), but on the 61.5 eastern arc. Well I already get local channels for $5/month and my HD package, so I thought it shouldn't be any problem to get the local HD's. Wrong. They want me to pay $109 to get the 61.5 hooked up for the entire condo. Its funny cause I see one of the other condo buildings has two dishes, one pointed southeast and one pointed southwest, so I assume someone must have shelled out the $109 for HD locals for that building?
So is there any way around this fee? Signing up for another two years? Changing programming to get a free 61.5 install or something?
