Dishnetworks HD locals

[Hemi 6.1]

Who said anything about nationals?

 

[Hemi 6.1]

I mean that would be freaking-A-great if they could broadcast all their HD locals and locals from the 110 while broadcasting national channels from 119.

What on earth are you talking about?

 

[Hemi 6.1]

If Dishnetwork can't broadcast HD locals and national HD channels at the same time, well I guess I'm with the wrong provider.

Please explain yourself further.

Which sat(s) do you prefer the nationals to come off of??

Which sat(s) do you prefer the Locals and HD locals come off of??

I think you understand that with bandwidth, you got to give to get.

Okay, never mind, I think maybe you and I are talking about 2 different things.

I'm referring to the point that another poster made saying that HD locals should be on the sat(s) that most subscribers have, which is obviously the 119 and 110.

I think you maybe referring to a different point that HD locals should be given priority over HD nationals, which of course, everybody and their brother differ over.

Yea I see were are just on different pages , Carry on I see what your saying now. Yes to have everything on 1 or 2 satellites for the entire USA agreed would not work.

We're cool.

 

[Hemi 6.1]

I think D* uses like 7 or 8 satellites currently to serve the USA. Correct me if I'm wrong

I think they should at least carry the big Four. Where is Harrisburg locals? I pay Comcast 20 per month for hd locals.

 

[Hemi 6.1]

I can't believe The State Capitol of Pa doesn't have HD locals. Thats Bad!

 

[jerryez]

I pay Dish for three HD locals(no NBC), but I get all of my HD locals for FREE OTA. But I need the guide data. THAT SUCKS TO PAY FOR GUIDE DATA.

 

[jeepers94]

We have 1 local HD channel available.I have my wing install set fo tomorrow,but I told dish if they don't have the other 3 online by the end of the year,it will be hello directv!
They did give me a free month of programming for an incentive to stay until then.

 

[Yes616]

Watch your bill closely.

I get 2 of 7 in the Albany, NY area. TWC has all seven.

even DIRECTV has 4 of them in Albany. They could pick up WMHT or WCWN if they wanted to, but WNYA is TWC only (fiber) until they go OTA on Feb 19th.

Yep, D* has had them almost 2 years now.

 

[tinydoughboy]

Yeah, I agree I think 4 would be considered having HD localls..Greenville, NC just got 1 now. . . that is more than what we had.. but they wanted me to pay 59.99 or 99.99 and renew my contract to get 1 HD channel, I of course argued my point and got it done for free but still I have a dish outside that really is for 1 channel........It's a mess!!!!

 

[Hemi 6.1]

Yep, D* has had them almost 2 years now.

Directv has also had ABC and Fox for almost 2 years ,and they added CBS and NBC last summer. But as everyone knows this is World Series/Football season , And All E* gave us was ABC HD. That sucks!

Also, they should be on satellites that most current subscribers have. It does no good to current subs for the locals to be on 61.5, when very few of the current subscribers have a dish pointed at that location.

I live in Cincinnati and when we got locals (SD) I was not able to get the PBS station in KY so dish let me know that they would put up another dish so I could.
So I got the 61.5 dish free it does not look like they do this now.
This happened about 10 years ago.
