O YEA i forgot you personally spoke to the owner of the cincy station huh,, I did and thats why i know this is directv's foul up and not the fcc's ...
Other than the counties specifically mentioned in the SHVIA (the four in New Hampshire that can receive WMUR and the two in southern Mississippi that can receive both Baton Rouge and Jackson locals), signficantly-viewed has not been given to anyone, yet. To state that any foul-up has occured before the start of service is extremely short-sighted. You should start the blame game after the remainder of signifcantly-viewed has been implemented.
and yes it is the uplink facility, because the day our dayton locals were turned on, my reciever would not get them, so had to reboot it, and then upn itself would not come on, so i called the station and was 3 way calling with him to the uplink facility, and told them they failed to add my zipcode to the aloowed to view upn from cincy, so that is h9ow i know what i am talking about ... facts not your fiction
Sure. Let's talk about facts...
First, let's take a look at the
FCC's signficantly-viewed list. Funny how WBQC isn't anywhere on it. Yet, WBQC is authorized for the entire Dayton DMA. Therefore, the
fact that you've been receiving WBQC via the signficantly-viewed clause is
incorrect. You've been receiving WBQC through some contractual means, as I've stated above, because WBQC, as a class-A station, is not even available for must-carry.
Second, some receivers had issues when authorizing local service once the service started from the 119 slot. Many people had to reboot to receive local channels.
Third, just like the UPN station in San Antonio (KBEJ), it took a while to authorize Austin to receive KBEJ. What complicates matters on WBQC is that it needed to be authorized from the 101 slot and share with Cincinnati, while the remaining locals only for Dayton were authorized on both 101 and 119. As you stated, "they failed to add my zipcode". But only for WBQC, according to your post. And WBQC is one of a few channels DirecTV carries that are available in two markets. Do you think it's possible DirecTV simply didn't update the zipcode list for that station, since it is available in two markets?
Don't assume by comparing apples (the introduction of a new local market) with oranges (the introduction of significantly-viewed channels) that you know what exactly is going on.
