And what will you shout when you jump? "Geronimo!"
Just like Wonder Woman's jet!
Just in time for Crisis on Infinite Earths. (Yeah, I know that is not the DC you were talking about, but I couldn't resist making the reference.)

And here I thought "rtoo" was a Star Wars reference.Your excitement shows in your spelling.
Oh darn, Geronimo edited the post to correct the spelling.Your excitement shows in your spelling.
At least 3.
How bout we combine the three, so we don't have to bounce between all of them to keep up with all the various measuring contests?
If Dish and Directv where smart, they would provide an OTA antenna with every install and just charge for the stations that the customer can’t pull in
Then in a dispute when a channel was dropped it wouldn’t effect a lot of people or nobody at all.

That is an interesting idea. I have for a long time thought that Dish should switch to regional pricing for the locals, since Dish's cost to carry the local package must vary widely from market to market, and the price they charge subscribers should reflect that. That way, we are only paying for channels that we are actually receiving, instead of having the price averaged out for everyone across the entire country. Your suggestion would be even more granular than that, with the price of the locals varying for each individual subscriber. With the locals already broken out as a separate line item on the bill (for most packages) and with a possible need to switch to regional pricing anyway due to the FSN dispute, this would be the perfect time to start changing the price of the locals package for each market (if not each subscriber) to reflect the actual costs involved to carry the locals in each market. Dish could still advertise a certain minimum baseline price for each programming package (and/or for the locals add-on pack) and then the more expensive markets would see a surcharge on the bill.
I've got three more months with Dish and if things aren't worked out by then I'm thinking of going to YTTV.
I love YTTV. However if there is a baseball game on Big Fox, I switch over to OTA for DD 5.1
How did DISH block your FOX OTA?
Um, they can’t do that even with their antenna. I have FOX OTA just fine on my antenna. Are you looking at at the -1 channel?
Dish can't "block" an OTA feed of course. They could drop the listings from the EPG I suppose, but WXXA Fox 23 has been off Dish in the Albany, NY DMA for I think a couple of months now, and the OTA listings are still there and working.
Yeah, when we lost NBC due to a dispute, they still left the OTA NBC guide info up and allowed you to record, etc.
