I can watch these shows on my Xbox one via either Hulu Plus or the CW app. Have to figure a way to stream CBS. Hooked up a leaf 50 antenna trying to get CBS but that didn't work (42 miles from transmitter).
Just going to throw this out for what it's worth.. If you have internet via TWC (or someone else) you might want to try putting a splitter on the cable and feed it to you TV. Do a scan and see if you can pickup the QAM channel for CBS. It works in my area where I can get all 4 major networks off cable. I understand that it will not work however in some areas....

We people in the country need a break and maybe this is it. The big cities have super fast internet with several providers to choose from but out here we only have one cable company with a top speed of 6Mb (and even that is at a premium price). Because of slow and unreliable connections, HD streaming is out. We also need towers (mine is 60' tall!), deep fringe antennas, rotors, boosters, etc. just to try to get "locals" on a good day, which is not a problem in metro areas. People in cities have options we in the country do not have.
I am not affected by the CBS blackout because no one cares about this small market I'm in. By pulling programming away from big cities, we in the country can continue to get it. So I say that Dish and CBS (and all other similar disputes) should compromise by pulling programming from the big markets but keeping them where they don't cost much, like they are doing right now. That way Charlie (and customers) won't have to pay as much and CBS will still have some sort of presence on DISH. Yep, that is a deal I can live with!!

Dish press release saying they have an agreement. ABC's 3 day autohop not good enough for CBS who gets 7days... I wonder if ABC has a favored nations clause on the autohop?
Showtime Anytime coming to Dish too...
Dish gets their TV everywhere rights too.
So, less than 12 hour blackout?

Yay!!! I was just about to start a chat with them and complain. While I could care less about CBS, I do not believe in paying for something that I'm not getting so I was about to see what Dish had planned to do for their customers. I'm so glad I checked this thread first. Thanks!
Your ABC must not be corporate-owned if you didn't see the 3-day delay. You'll only see the delay on CBS if you also lost the channel yesterday.
