you can no longer add the package, but they grandfathered the folks in that already had them.

I can't wait to get home to see KTLA News back on the Satellite...if this is for real?

Unfortunately for those of us in LA, we have no KTLA as either a local or superstation (only the other two). Any one know what is going on? I guess we will need to watch The Flash an hour earlier...

Okay, so if you are in the market of the Super station/network you still don't receive it , even with the Super station pack?

I "moved" back to the Philadelphia market, so now I get CW, but they are Missing MY network .

Yes, it seems to be the case that if a superstation is also local, it is removed

If they are still uplinked anyway, why can't Dish sell the superstations to those that still would like to have them? It seems odd to deny paying customers that might want to add them.

For whatever reason they decided to stop selling them. Maybe this will make them think about it again? Remember they are only SD, for me no problem for the news I watch in the different cities or as a back-up/time change to watch a few programs. But for some not being HD they don't want them.

This is good news for those who had a super station that is a CW affiliate, but lost their's.

The guide data is now gone and I thought there's was 5 super stations....the one from Boston is gone.

I don't know what the problem may be on your end, they are all there, with the guide. WSBK isn't even part of the dispute.

One of my small regrets is dropping the superstitions, I enjoyed catching news from other areas

My bad...I was looking at the 8000s ch numbers and not 230s. They have guide data down there but not at their mirror locations.

Ok got it!

I had them on my Dish account as long as I could before they irritated the hell out of me and I cancelled all of my accounts with them.

Didn't realize you had a falling out with DISH.....

With the availability of almost any newscast available online, I don't see the value of having Supers anymore. I dropped them a long time ago.

I can understand that too. For me especially in the morning I just want to click and watch the local news, some news from a couple of areas of the Country and National news. When something is happening in LA it's nice to just turn to the KTLA and likely they are there covering it, then I can go back to what I was watching. For us it's worth the $80 a year even more so with our CW not available right now. No doubt not a needed thing but if used a nice package to have.
