I just noticed that Dish Network is running a message again on ch 240 and 260 about Distant Networks again through AAD. The message was taken down in January. Now it is back. I just wonder why they took the message down, and now they come back with it, Has anything new happenned? Even though there is AAD, I still believe that Congress needs to pass a new law, to help us all out, because the PQ with AAD is not always good. What does everyone think?

I called AAD once and it seems they will sign up anyone who wants it. So much for meeting any criteria. I would have signed up if they provided the stations in HD but they don't and probably never will. It's too bad they only offer Atlanta and SF feeds. If they offered a better choice like Chicago, NYC, or Philly feeds they would get a better response. Anyway, I think Moltomateo made an April Fools joke.
Looks like AAD designed this little ad, it's kind of cheaply made and doesn't look like Dish's usual info banners. They should put their time and effort into improving the PQ on their channels instead of worrying about price increases and advertising.
That would about the only thing your missing. PQ is still very unpredictable. Sometime the picture is good and others not so great. I do wonder if they are still getting the feeds from OTA antenna's which would explain the spotty PQ. For those that cannot get the nets any other way, this is really the only alternative but the service leaves a lot to be desired. And there recent price hike just added salt to the open wound.
