I called dish and talked to some offshore rep. When I asked him how was this going to work with my motorhome. He told me that they would update my locals, but I would have call in as I travel. I can really see this working as I travel from dma to another all I have to do is call and they will update my service, yeah right.
Wow. I have had distant networks in one form or another since day one, first New York and L. A., then Atlanta and San Francisco, and now back to New York. I remember watching New York locals on the morning of September 11. It's one of the reasons I have stayed with Dish for so long. No other provider can feed my local news habit.
I am in the Lubbock DMA. When Dish put up our locals in HD, they used the 61.5 Sat. Since I had AAD distant networks, I had a side dish installed to get 61.5 and added to a western arc ( 110, 119, 129 ) dish. Now that AAD is going out of business should I stay with my current set up with 2 dishes or should I switch to eastern arc and remove a dish.
I think we should all remember that we have not signed any contracts with local providers that say we can only watch stations in a local market area. For anyone to be limited by flatulent, overblown, narcissistic and fascist broadcast networks is morally and ethically wrong. It is also possibly censorship in that it limits us to information in local areas and under local control. Anyone that has distant network reception whether via satellite or powerful TV antenna knows the news is reported differently in different areas. Maintaining a free a knowledgeable population requires free flow of information. So called "Intellectual Property" Legislation
prevents that as do similar contracts and network policies. You don't realize this but we are losing an important resource. It really should be a requirement that distant broadcasts be available to everyone as this alone
brings equal treatment under the law. If a local station does not like it TOUGH.

You're right, we haven't... We can put up an antenna in any location we want (while traveling, for instance) AND THEY CAN'T STOP US. Nah, nah, nah, na-na. But the cable and satellite companies have.I think we should all remember that we have not signed any contracts with local providers that say we can only watch stations in a local market area.

Our news programming sucks here and they are not even showing the Olympic games live at all.
What sat do your locals come from?
If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Like +1000! I pay the bill, it's nobody's damn business what I want to watch!
Go EA.I am in the Lubbock DMA. When Dish put up our locals in HD, they used the 61.5 Sat.

He just said they come from 61.5 and that he has 2 dishes, one WA and one wing dish. He should just dump the WA and go w/ an EA dish.What sat do your locals come from?

No one is showing the Olympics live. NBC has a contract for all of the USA to broadcast it. So they run it as they want by editing it for later playback.I totally agree with you, I live in Hawaii and you should see our local station, its horrible. Our news programming sucks here and they are not even showing the Olympic games live at all. When superbowl was playing on tv, they played stupid ass local commericals, which was annoying here hearing some people speak pidign tv.
