God Bless America

The Fat Lady is crooning this morning in DMA 177 .. hums "This Land Is Your Land, This Unserved Land is My Land ".

Can't get locals with any type of OTA.

No line of site to 148.

No cable providers service my rural area.

Can't optionally switch to D* if I wanted to ... deep canyon blocks D* line of site.

I no longer have any option whatsoever to receive ABC, NBC, CBS or Fox.

Thanks, Charlie. It sucks being a shafted Dish Network unserved customer .


Won't hold my breath hoping Congress will provide remedy for unserved rural folks like me. Time will tell.

3. only have Denver HD
4. no

A few weeks ago I "moved" back to Denver so I could get a 622 hooked up. When they changed the account they did not requalify the distants, so they have been on since then. Today they were gone, but I don't know if it is because they were shut off for the Dec 1 deadline, or if they just caught the Grade A address.

With the 622 I can record HD OTA and 2 Sat feeds simultaneously, so I still have alot of the flexibility that the Distants offered. What I'll miss is being able to watch football other than the Big 12 and the Broncos, as well as catching Leno at 9:30.
