Official SatelliteGuys CBS / DISH Dispute Thread

I hope we get Pop in HD.

 

[comfortably_numb]

OK, thanks. I wish we could get the Super Stations.

If you live in (or "move" to) a market without a CW, you get WPIX from New York, which is one of the Superstations.

I just hope we get it back.

I used to "move" to Toledo for precisely that reason, to get WPIX. Then, Toledo lost WPIX during the Tribune dispute and never got it back as far as I know. Toledo actually has a sub-channel affiliate of CW now, but the last time I checked, Dish still doesn't carry it. Cincinnati is in the same situation, with a sub-channel CW affiliate not carried by Dish, and no national feed, either.

Well, since you have the OTA guide, you must already have an OTA adapter. Or were you checking the guide on a receiver other than the Wally?

If I'm looking for a free module it couldn't be on the Wally could it?

Some people on here try to get free stuff just for the sake of getting free stuff. I also thought that maybe you already had the single-tuner adapter, and you were trying to see if Dish would upgrade you to the dual-tuner for free.

Like you I don't think the module is worth $60. Right now it is free or keep on using the 211K. I really got the Wally to get experience with CUI.

I gotta say... I really like the Local Now channel here in Chicago instead of CBS! I wish they had this all the time!

I was wondering what that uplink report (on the other site) was all about. I wish they would give Local Now its own channel number in every market where Dish offers the Local Now App, not just the markets that are affected by the dispute like they are doing now.

Wife just yelled from other room "where'd Pop go?". She's been watching ER reruns. Pop is only place to watch that show.

there might be some yelling like that around here as well.

Twin cities mn lost cbs, called dish, I was told they don't have the usb adapter. I was given a 5$ credit on a 150$ per month bill.
Driving 120 miles in the morning to pick up the usb dual tuner adapter, paying full price. With the holiday it would have been several days or next week to get one shipped. Hope the adapter works well, huge cbs prime time fans.

Not happy, but hope it works. Been putting it off, had the antenna on my 722 and 622 of yester years, heh

CBS IS ALL THAT WE ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING CW IS NOT IN THE ONSCREEN MESSAGE. LOOKS LIKE ONLY 18 MAJOR MARKETS ARE AFFECTED.

WUPA Atlanta ks a CW station, but O&O by CBS. Crawl had been on that channel. It is now gone from DISH

so lifetime movie channel and bravo are replacements? or in free preview?
I notice them today.

 

[tcat007]

Yeah, and the replacements are something I already get! Rather have a$10 bulk discount.

I'm most upset with Smithsonian Channel being pulled. I'm hooked on the "Air Disasters" series. Guess I'll have to torrent the series now.

Is Discovery available on Hulu? i thought it was not.

It's available on Netflix outside of the US.
If only there was some technology that allowed you to connect to the Internet virtually via a private network server in another country.
Then, you'd be able to watch it with your regular Netflix account. If only such a thing existed.

It does. It’s called Unlocator and it’s completely legal: www.unlocator.com

That workaround doesn't fly any more lol, Netflix dropped the hammer on it.

Interesting. I use it to get around MLB blackouts and it still works for that
