He has mild dementia. He's more comfortable at home. I offered, but he probably won't come. This is unlikely to be the impetus to push them to an OTA setup.

They may not decline the OTA antenna now that they are impacted so maybe an early Christmas gift?
Understand my friend. Let's hope for a swift resolution to the dispute then.He has mild dementia. He's more comfortable at home. I offered, but he probably won't come. This is unlikely to be the impetus to push them to an OTA setup.
Maybe the signal can be captured in your area now. Rabbit ears have gotten better, digital signal is the norm now since 1996, and maybe there is a repeater antenna setup in your area now. Just thinking of some ideas for your dad.Yes, I've been using OTA for years. I've had the 50' tower setup with 2 antennae since '96. We got a legacy DISH box at the same time (no OTA integration at that time, of course.) We've gone through several iterations of DISH box upgrades over the years and currently have a HWS. We've never had an issue with OTA with this setup.
When my parents moved out here a couple years ago, they got a 622, but no OTA. I encouraged them to consider an antenna, but they declined. This still doesn't make me happy that he won't have the game on.

Yeah, he's not gonna watch it on anything other than his (82") TV.Probably less likely as I know internet is not great in some of those areas, but internet and WatchESPN app is also a possibility
Well assuming you have somewhat fast internet, then that's easy with a chromecast. I watched most of the games the last 2 weeks on my 65in via watchespn app with chromecast as I didn't have my dish up yet while moving into new house.Yeah, he's not gonna watch it on anything other than his (82") TV.
OUCHUh oh. Minneapolis lost NBC
My dads going to be pissed as the NASCAR race is on NBC tonight
DISH is actually the appropriate way to spell it, compared to Dish, considering DISH is actually an acronym.NBC is out in my area, but I have an antenna in the attic. But it's not like I watch their crappy channel anyway, they can keep it.
They should be happy anyone watches their channel, it's a dying medium and I am fine tuning to another channel - I rarely watch network programming and I am not at all happy paying retrans fees for something that is available OTA. The FCC granted them the license for those airwaves, and I don't see a value in paying for a retransmission of it. I am further offended by the sensationally written notice on their website - it's like something from the National Enquirer. I am not interested in watching one program they list there - they can stick it.
What number do I call KPNX at so I can tell them to keep their channel off my DISH?
Edit: So I submitted a response through the above contact form about how I could care less if their channel comes back on, and they email me this crap back! I'm perfectly happy with this situation and I am taking DISH's side (even though they have a "troubling" record of dropping crap stations like KPNX)...still not sure why DISH is all in caps (do we refer to all companies by their ticker symbol?) but I'll go with it and side with DISH for not overpaying to rebroadcast crap stations like KPNX. They even say one of the options for getting their lousy programming is FREE OTA and they are faulting DISH for not wanting to pay for this crap? Unbelievable.

Digital Information Sky Highway is what is stands for. Similar to SCUBA, which most people just assume Scuba is the right word.
February 1st 2012When did DISH start including the locals with all packages? I know there was a time when it was optional. Since many of us can use an antenna or have lost interest in the major broadcasters it would certainly be a viable option
As a result of this I was thinking of ordering the Hopper OTA Module from the dish accessories site. Does anyone know what the difference between standard shipping (free) and expedited shipping ($20) is from dish? What kind of time frame is involved for each?
Good idea.Call customer service 1st. They may give you 1 for the inconvenience this caused. You never know until you try.
