actually when you're setting up a timer from the guide and it's blacked out, it won't let you so no "3 hours of program not available in your area" in your dvr, not sure what happens if you setup a manual timer though
Looking for La Crosse, WI locals also (including eau claire nbc)
I thought that's what they said as well. Only trouble... I remember no such legislation passing Congress! Is this just a rules change by the FCC? Either way, there should be confirmation somewhere on a .gov website.I think the biggest news was that if you have a missing network, either by disagreement, by your DMA just not having one or you are out of ota range, you can get a distant network through AAD beginning Saturday.
You hit the nail on the head!!! Congress hasn't past legislation BANNING this YET.. Kinda like the early days of DBS all over again!!I thought that's what they said as well. Only trouble...

Did Charlie say anything else was coming SOON? I wasn't able to watch, wife take tv hostage.

THE RULES CHANGE with the digital transition.
Sort of like Charlie saying screw you to Fisher Broadcasting.
If your local station plays too much hardball Charlie does an alley-oop over their head.
Sorry ... what is AAD?
On transponder 16 my reading is 50. I'm feeling pretty good about that. Agree??
A new Turner mux showed up on Galaxy 14 Cband about two weeks ago. Channels included in the mux were TCM HD, TruTV HD and a slot for Headline News HD. I don't have any information on when the official launch might be or if Dish will add them.
It's possible that a blackout can occur on a local RSN such as when another carrier purchases the rights to broadcast that game such as ESPN or a network.
An RSN will blackout some of it's programming if the team does not have all the rights in it's coverage area.Why on earth would an REGIONAL Sports Network broadcast a game that no one in their REGION could watch?
It's the other way around...the game would be blacked out on ESPN.
What do you get on the others that might cover you?
I wish they'd announce they're getting on board with TCM when it launches in HD this month.
TCM in HD (and then actually broadcasting their movies in HD) would get me off of the HD absolute package.
Not that they are known for their accuracy, wikipedia claims that TruTV IS in HD.Cool, thanks.
TruTV and HLN were rolling around the HD rumor mill a few months back, but this is the first I've heard about TCM other than the "someday" rumors that have been around for years and years. I remember there was a webpage somewhere with a list of HD channels "coming soon"...TCM was on there, along with a bunch of stuff that never happened, like HDNet Sports.
...
TruTV and HLN do not appear on the "announced" list either. Guess Turner likes to keep things on the DL.

For instance, Fox Sports South will cover some Atlanta Braves games, but has to black those games out in Florida Which has Fox Sports South but is not part of the Braves territory.
