Don't believe this much of what CSRs tell you. They are half true half false. They are working on the super-dma. There's nothing wrong legally to do this. Apparently this is the same csr who is stating that the FCC does not allows you to get multiple DMAs. That's just plain nonsense.

If you can receive them within your area the answer is yes. You just use the scanning software. However, this may give you the station but the PG will not be part of it. This is what the super DMA is supposed to fix as well as those stations picked up by the scanning software for which the station is not sendin PSIP information.

Rember to point your antenna in the correct direction to pick up any other DMA. If you live too far away from other DMAs, you will have the same problem with or without the "super DMA".

Thanks you guys, I am now saving $3.32 a month in Michigan. Now I can enjoy a cigar while watching the Series.
You can either enjoy a decent cigar or an entire box of El Producto's :) Back when I was growing up in Michigan, my Grandfather could purchase a box of White Owl and an 8-pack of E&B with your monthly tax savings.

My sales tax is down $6 and change but I'm still being taxed fo the stb rental.

Aren't we supposed to get refunded for the past improper sales taxes, though?

My last bill said to look for credits for these previously collected taxes on the next bill. So I am hoping I'll see a complete refund of all of them on the next bill.

Well That Su_ks!

Well they keep doing more and more to make people look at other service companies such as D. They reduce it $5 then go up $10!

Their just like the state....(I'm civil service) everytime we get a raise, they increase our health ins. and take it right back!

This actually happened months ago. But those that had signed up a while back were grandfathered in at the lower rates until the end of the year. Which is when I'll probably be dumping the VaVaVoom package.

So, do we get a check or credit, with interest, when they were stealing that money for whenever you signed up?
 

Whatever happened to FoxSports?
