oh and by the way My Network is piggybacked on the Fox subchanel for your market
I live in the Louisville DMA market but one of the southern most counties - Green (KY). The local cable provides both Louisville and bowling green on the cable.. I have dish, and only get Louisville locals... However when Bowling Green comes online in June, with my county being adjacent to both Hart and Metcalfe county in Kentucky, will I be able to receive bowling green instead of Louisville (or at least some of the bowling green stations). bowling green has all but the MY and ION stations and I can get MY on the superstation pack...
thanks - as my cousin and I both are just 2 of the many people in our county that enjoy the local news (and especally local weather) from BG since its geared more for our area than Louisville which is 80 miles north of us - whereas BG is only 50 miles SW

Any word on HD locals for Augusta GA? The other Sat provider has had them here for over 2 years...
I just recieved an email from our the general manager for our cbs and fox local station here in salisbury, MD and he confirmed that they are in talks with dish and should have everything ready to go around june 3rd. I cant wait!!

how would you do that? My county is the southern most county in the Louisville DMA, and the local cable company offers bowling green, and if I have an off-air antenna, I can only receive bowling green... (cannot receive louisville)... But they put us in the louisville dma because BG only used to have just one TV station, but now they have all those - plus they have the WKU station - and i went to school down there and i like to keep up with whats going on in bowling green not whats going on in louisville... I gotta get on the internet to find out bowling green news - they tell our local stuff but louisville never gives out local news for green/adair counties.. Hart county is in the bowling green dma and i'm 10 miles from the hart county line... don't make no sense yet i'm 18 miles from LaRue county and louisville tells about LaRue all time but not us...
I understand
The county where our cabin is here in Minnesota is in the Minneapolis DMA and that is 120 miles from Mpls...Duluth, MN is only 85 away and yet we're not in that DMA
anywho..to "move" all you have to do is give Dish an address in the Bowling Green DMA. Good examples are gas stations, mcdonalds, etc...some place that probably wouldnt have Dish. Or find an apartment complex and make up a apt #
Call Dish and say "I need to change the address on my account. I moved and there is already a Dish there. I hooked up the receiver and its working fine.
Change the physical address and then tell them to keep the billing address the same.
Then here is where you play dumb and say "now do my locals change?" and they should change them to the correct locals then
Its pretty easy to do and I've done it for years

my dish is billed thru my local telephone provider - not thru dish... I get a $15/mo discount on my billing by doing it this way, so I can't easily change my billing address since the phone service is billed at the same location...
Dish did tell me tho that since my county is southern most and bordered south, west, and southeast by the BG dma, its possible that we may be offered a choice of Louisville or bowling green.. the lady said that they are redistricting lines for BG since several counties on the southern limits of that city are considered "metro BG" are listed in the Nashville DMA and people want BG channels not Nashville.... She told me to call back next week when they go up and they'd work with me...

you dont change the billing address...you change the physical address
my Directv is through my Telco too and I "moved"...all D* and E* care about is the billing address is the same
unless Dish offers them as significantly viewed you can't "choose" which locals to get
