Just got Dish within the past two weeks because of the 100% locals advertising. One day after I got it, our local NBC station conveniently had their transmitter "go out" and have been working on it ever since, of course, it's funny that it coincided with Dish offering it finally, with Direct, they were the only station that would not allow satellite viewing. We are unable to pick it up OTA so thought Dish would be great!!!! Guess not, because now the station is advertising they are on "low transmitter" so OTA can pick them up but not Dish.
I'd rather go back to picking up Distant like I had with Direct (NYC channels, I'm in upstate NY). Can Dish offer them to me instead and if not can I cancel without having to pay a two year committment fee? Any idea how much that would be? Can they just give me the NBC station distant and leave the rest of the locals? I'm really ticked, made this big switch and got screwed anyway. Do I have any recourse?
