I know someone here knows how the streaming differs from satellite feed...does it defeat the purpose of moving? what is the source of "local" channels ... ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX? Thanks!

Although DISH carries LAFF, GET, GRIT and JUSTICE.

As I understand it locals are available in some or all o&o markets. Anyone know if that means the big3 + fox, or all locals including sub-channels??? Also, is "moving" possible? If you sign up can you state a service address and billing addy? Thanks guys....

Has the uplink droid died?

Thanks Mr. J.

If both the uplink facility and the receiver (customer) are under clear skies does the spotbeam shrink or reduced in intensity during daylight hours...say 4-6 points. Thanks.

Laila...I think I solved the problem...found one sat cable input was fraying at the connector...switched it out and so far so good. To answer your ? it appeared to be effecting all of the channels, which makes sense.

Picture freezes static ... just me or do I have company? Signal strength 68.

http://www.avsforum.com/forum/showthread2.php?p=38796033#post38796033 I'm fairly sure some of you are familiar with these charts. I have a question for any of the 5 star customer service reps of this group ... the RSN chart indicates that some of the RSNs on DISH are full time HD...ex: Comcast...

Is it correct to say that all of the HD channels on 72.7 are mpeg4? What about the HD channels on 129 ... mpeg2, 4, mix? With the addition of the HD feed of Aljazera how many more HD signals can be added? I thought 129 was maxing out.

What are these channels? They're listed NYAD and EVG 1-4..."type 86" Sat 118.7

In my perfect tv world you'd be able to get Birmingham if you wanted it, but you'd also be able to opt for NY, Chicago, etc. If "locals" want your business fine, but if they're not willing to fork out the $$$ to get that signal to you...tough darts.

RE #134 - Is Claude coming out with a box for $50 where we can pick up any market we want.

I agree with ejb...local DMA should be limited to what one can receive with rabbit ears.. 30-40 miles max. If locals want a larger market let them spend the $$$ to erect relay towers that guarantee a steady signal. No...they don't want to have to spend any $$$ just rake it in.

Surprise? From where? Some of us are just nosy!
