All American Network Change

[garys]

Saw this notice this morning on Dish's Distant Network Eligibility Channel. Starting March 4 ADD will switch the east coast network feed to NY.

Huge News

If they also go with LA and add the HD many of us will be dancing naked in the sheets

I just talked to a guy at AAD and he said that this story is not true. They will be continuing to use Atlanta. Good! I already get New York from the superstation package.

Only NY on superstations is CW and MyNetwork. ADD gives NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox.

Is there any way you can post a screen shot of it? I'm not at home right now.

Given what's on channel 240, someone's got some 'splaining' to do.

Dish always does things the CSR's are unaware of. Why should AAD be any different?

 

[nrholland]

There's no explaining to do. I called the number that is on the screen. It's official!! Goodbye Atlanta...Hello New York...I'm not too happy about it.

Probably by next year they'll drop S.F. for L.A.

And what's so wrong with getting the Atlanta networks?

Does that mean HD from NY?

There is a post that said AAD HD this SPRING. Makes sense.

 

[digiblur]

If they go HD what happens to all the SD subs? I can't see them leasing another TP.

 

[Sooner02]

I guess the final answer is that no one knows, and those who might are not going to give an answer.

 

[gmitchell]

Just got off the phone with AAD and the Rep stated that yes they are going to NY feeds. I asked why and said the feeds for ALT were "fuzzy" and she said that is why the change. Also asked about HD and they said they are looking into that.....SOOON is the key word

 

[JTBenson]

Good. I HATE the Atlanta channels. The picture quality is awful. Just in time for the NCAA Tournament too. ;-)

 

[rdinkel]

So the question becomes: Why doesn't AAD get a high-quality signal drop from Dish and use that instead of running their own feeds to the uplink site?

So when is this change coming? It will be a nice change since I'm only 100 miles from NY, and about 800+ miles to Atlanta.

Asked and answered.

Since I'm in Alaska, I could care less whether it's Atlanta or NY, but I'll agree with previous posts, the Atl. picture quality has always been horrible. Hopefully NY will be better.
