Yes, but as far I know these are all C band. Part of the appeal of Free DBS is that is will be received with a single dish that is 1M or less.Why RFD TV is already up there in the clear including their HD feed.
DISH Network May Remove RFD-TV

Isn't RFDTV one of the few a la carte channels available on DISH? Too bad all channels aren't a la carte but then the conglomerates would find out how worthless some of their channels really are.
Yes, but not for long, apparently.
Look, I don't know what's going on. Most likely RFD wants, from Dish's perspective, too much money for the viewership it draws. Or Charlie figures that the subscribers who really want the channel aren't that valuable to him. That's true of YES, GolTV, etc. As long as there's another provider that carries RFD-TV (and my other must-haves) that's where I'll go. At least with FIOS I won't have to miss half my channels when snow accumulates on my 61.5 dish (as it has now).
Only paying $29 a month (Dish Family). I would probably be willing to move to C-Band but I am afraid the handwriting is on the wall for that. The 4DTV receivers are no longer being made so I can't see investing in a dish and everything. It's a shame too because C-Band was cheaper at one time and offered most everything ala carte. The price is not that much better than the small dish services now and the instability is a deal-breaker for me.
I think this is the channel that has all the horses and rodeo stuff on it right?? If I remember going to some homes for SVC that these people would tell me they only have Dish cause it was the only one that had this channel...man would that piss alot of people off in this area that have it if that channel gets dropped!
what writing? C-Band isnt going away
Watching RFDTV HD right now
FTA or subbed? What dish are you using?
I like RFD-TV.
But, I think they ought to tell Dish Network to go pound sand.
Unless it happens, the FreeDBS thing is just an idea.

my question is how much are they asking for rfd, if you notice in the original post it says they were willing to offer rfd-hd & rural-tv for free. never seen anything about rfd channel being free so until you can answer the question "how much & under what terms" don't be so quick to judge. and if they had signed a contract 75% of the people bitchin' in here now would be bitchin' about having to pay too much.
Direct has it, they may start picking up new rural subs if Dish does not keep RFD,
Does anyone know what the actual issues are?

Thanks, I might see if I can use my 6 footer to pick it up, although it has never been quite the same after it tipped over a while back.
Yes, very good news, although of course nothing's done yet.
And if it is, then maybe, YEAAAHHHHH, Dish will also carry RFD-HD! Oh, boy, wow!. Wait.....I won't be able to see that one either.
Well, at least it'll get wifey off my back until I can switch providers (she doesn't care about HD).
