This was a big topic last summer. Everyone with waiver had them resent due to the Federal Law suit.

Dish had even sent some letters as they were about to cut of many locals for distant net customers.

It is now the end of the Year. Did they hear the appeal yet?

Will we be loosing our Distant Nets antime soon?

Old post:
That the 11th circuit court stayed the lower courts' order pending appeal. The lower court actually ruled in a manner that contradicts the SHVIA Act of 2000. The 11th circuit court probably won't hear the appeal until November or December and hopefully they'll take their time in making a ruling, long enough for Football season to be over.
 
I read in an other board that the court case goes again next month.

If they loose many Locals will be turned off.

You can check on there web site. If they resend your Waiver, then your a target for a possible removal letter.
