    Distant Network Information

    As far as we have been told, no Dallas/Fort Worth stations will be available to the Sherman/Ada market area through satellite, especially not the CBS and NBC stations as Sherman has those local affliates. I have heard no one address the issue of SV stations in this whole DNS mess. According to...

    Distant Network Information

    FYI for those who may not have heard....we have switched to the local cable company in order to get the local (for us, but considered DNS) DFW stations. My husband called Dish to cancel our service with them and they are offering what they term "Dish Pause". Basically, they will put your account...

    Why doesn't everyone just 'move'?

    No, I am sure there is no statement to that effect. And of course, this is a pay for fee service, obviously. But, if Dish knew that this was an issue, perhaps they could have taken some of that money and paid for the rights to broadcast those signals outside their normal areas. Maybe we...

    Why doesn't everyone just 'move'?

    So what is the point of us paying extra if they don't pass those fees along to the networks and affliates in those markets? Then if that is the case, they have been profiting off of their subscribers under the false pretense of " you have to pay extra because we have to pay extra to give this...

    Letter from Congressman

    Thanks, I wasn't going to say anything, but just to let everyone know....Atlanta is Eastern Time Zone and Dallas is Central Time Zone, San Francisco is Pacific. So the Atlanta station I now end up getting is one hour AHEAD of me in the Dallas area and the San Francisco station I have ended up...

    Letter from Congressman

    I loked at the DMA map and why they stuck Grayson County in with the counties in Oklahoma is beyond me. All the other counties surrounding Grayson are in the DFW DMA. We used to live in Cooke County and Dish provided the DFW stations to us there for free. Virtually no difference in the...

    Why doesn't everyone just 'move'?

    Boy am I getting an education! Yes, we have discovered the Fox station out of Sherman, it is their digital and interestingly enough, they run no news or local programming on it. I looked at the DMA map, and the entire North Central part of TX where we are is in the Dallas/Ft. Worth DMA EXCEPT...

    Distant Network Information

    Thanks for the reply. I have already sent the appropriate contacts to my legislators regarding this issue. I do not believe that corporations who break the law should be allowed to get away with it, but I do not think that consumers should be punished for it, especially when consumers aren't...

    Why doesn't everyone just 'move'?

    I just looked the locals on this chart for our area, and I am sure I am being a whiny baby about this, and I apologize, but according to Dish's own stupid chart, the DFW area ABC and FOX stations they cut off from us are part of our local package, since there is no local ABC or Fox affliate in...

    Distant Network Information

    Sorry, I logged off before I saw your message. This is all Greek to me, really. We live in Grayson County. I saw some of the other postings about how someone could be cut off and the person across the street or right next door not be. This really is screwed up.

    Distant Network Information

    I am not sure of situations in other market areas, but after we lost our DFW area stations, not distant networks that we never had....I checked DirecTV website to see if we could switch to them and still maintain our local DFW stations. Based on their website check of our zipcode, the DFW...

    Letter from Congressman

    Will somone explain to me how we managed to get our Dallas/Ft. Worth stations taken away when we live within that market area? We did not have to sign a waiver, we have not ever received any so-called distant network stations, nor do we want to. But we do now, just to get the Fox and ABC...

    Special Charlie Chat Recap (Midnight Mst)

    We lost our channels in the middle of broadcast, my husband was not happy! But our situation is somewhat different in that we do not get distant network channels from outside our broadcast service area. We never had to sign a waiver and we only received the channels that were in our market...
