Biloxi MS Locals?

[firesole33]

I don't know if anyone can answer this, but currently I live in Biloxi, however when I got an install they had to put me on eastern arc, lucky me I was able to "move" to Mobile. Now I am moving to a place with no LOS on Eastern Arc so that option goes away. Anyway DirecTV just announced they are adding Biloxi Locals in June so is there a way to figure out if Dish is adding them soon? Cable is way too high, I don't really want to switch to DirecTV partly because I still have the 29.99 all HD pack, and really don't wanna give that up. OTA is not a good option here as far a I have experienced and been told. So what are my chances?

Thanks!

Mobile HD locals (Big 4 ) are on 129W also so you could do a western arc install if you have line of site (110/119/129)

Oh awesome, I did not know they were on 129. So I am assuming I would have to move to Biloxi again to have them move my dish, and then I could "move" again to mobile? haha alot of work, but that make me happy.

 

[Mr Tony]

correct

Move to your legit location. You might want to tell them you have a good view to the SW but not SE so they can note the account. I am under the assumption your locals are not on DIsh? (I couldnt find them)

When the tech comes out they will set you up with a WA dish for 110/119/129. Then you can "move". The BIg 4 are in HD off 129...the rest are in SD off 110

Yeah doesn't carry any locals for Biloxi SD or HD that's why I had to "move" to Mobile. Its odd the house I am in now I have no LOS to WA and now I'm moving to a place with no LOS to EA. Really I was hoping with DirecTV adding the Biloxi Locals that dish would follow suit, cause it would be nice to have my own locals one day... Thanks for you help, it has been very informative.

 

[Mr Tony]

no problem. Glad to help

I think the reason they don't have Biloxi is since they are missing a couple of local channels in that DMA. Kind of like Lake Charles only having NBC and FOX in the DMA.

 

[Mr Tony]

If Dish will be able to import stations maybe then they'll probably be up

Funny thing is there is a transponder currently empty waiting.... it's even transmitting.

SatelliteGuys.US - Subscription 129°W

It'll cover the little 4 county DMA perfectly.

So does that mean there is hope for it coming or will I be "living" in mobile for awhile?
