I am from Farmington and I called the KRQE station engineer and asked if a waiver was possible so I could at least get the CBS feed out of California. He told me there was no way they would give out waivers. I have the other three locals but not CBS, some dispute with a parenting co. that wants $$ for dish and direct to transmit the HD signal. The other companys that own the other stations are not charging, but this one wants to charge and dish will not pay, so we cant get the channel. At least that is what the engineer KRQE told me on the phone today.
Anyone else try. Maybe I talked to the wrong guy.

I've got a 622 through Worldlink here in ABQ and still don't have SAT based CBS HD local.
Fortunately I can rabbit ear CBS HD, and that's usually solid.
As far as the 622, it is "pretty good" with some serious video/audio synch issues currently on DVRd HD material.
Oddly that can be resolved by 2 or 3 "skip backwards" button presses, so it's mostly a nuisance.

Ahhhhrggg! I was hoping to watch the Masters in HD. I don't know about you guys, but I find golf in SD almost unbearable with smearing colors and a ball that never seems to be in focus. I tried to get a waiver from KRQE and got the standard s.o.l. dma rejection letter. Looks like the battle will continue for some time. I think the Gannett Corp. has forgotten what business they're in.
I wasn't going to say anything about it being Linn, but it was on their website.
Now on the bright side, the Gannett war seems to be ending from what I've read elsewhere, so perhaps there's hope.
I'm with you on the Master's thing, although I can maintain an OTA for KRQE if need be.

Has anyone had a 622 installed by Dish in New Mexico?
Have an install on the 14th and want to know how your's went.

I am in the middle of the install from down under right now! I will post a full report and link it to this thread when it is finished. It is already 5:15 and the installer is supposed to be back to START the install any time now! 
Take a look here and pray yours works better!

Thank's
Read the link and it makes me wonder if I should cancel mine. I don't want to be another Dish horror story!

Hope mine is in so I can Install tomarrow... Y'all want to make this thread our NM thread to share thoughts?
I posted earlier that I got my waiver from KRQE but actually it was from KDBC in ElPaso - they were the station Dish told me to contact even though I get my normal dish CBS local from KRQE.
When I contacted KDBC the person they put me in contact with had just started there and he talked to Dish and gave me the waiver. It was actually hand written on a piece of KDBC stationary, but it did the job!

West only - which worked great for me since my kids are in bed by the time the primetime shows are on...
I lucked out and have both... I Just Called, my 622 is in so I guess I will be busy the rest of the day
