Atlanta distants

[tigertalk]

A few weeks ago, I had read that the Alanta channels offered as distant networks would no longer be available. We were to be given some other options for distants. I am still receiving Atlanta and there have been no changes. Does anyyone know the timetable when we have to select another city or have it selected for us?

I think they said that all those receiving Atlanta distants would be switched to NY distants in the Retailer Chat.

Greenville SC here, and I still get my Atlanta locals as a distant. No change here and was informed by an American technical support guy at E* that I still would receive them after the move because I am in the spotbeam. However, I logged onto dishnetwork.com and I could not see Dallas or Atlanta when I went to the request a waiver page. ???

You are only allowed two distants for each network if you have a waiver, correct ?

I am an "Atlanta Resident" from about 500 miles away and I no longer receive some of the Atlanta stations, so I believe that they have moved the non-major network stations recently, fwiw.

Yes and only for the networks you quality for or have waivers for.
