The Super Bowl is on FOX so I don't think CBS will have it on anything.
Correction - Fox Sports not CBS.....
Because it's a symbiotic relationship. The locals benefit as do the satellite companies. I do agree that folks complain, but continue to pay.
As far as what a customer is entitled to if they're missing a channel? First, you need to know how much you're paying for that channel/month. Good luck trying to find that. My guess is ~$1. So their $5 offer "makes up" for five months. Even if you're paying $2/month, their offer covers 2.5 months.
I just read the service agreement dated June 2018 and it does not mention any time restraints. I gave them my old equipment and they gave me the new stuff. The service agreement shows the new and old equipment and goes through the normal legal jargon for three pages but no where does it make it committal. Maybe I was eligible for a free upgrade but I don't remember. In any event, no where does it mention I am committed for any length of time.
You might want to here from someone else on this thread . If your account shows you have the hopper then you have a new contract, just my thoughts.
Make sure you read "the normal legal jargon" closely. It could say something like "for a period of two years as of the date of this contract... "
I am (or was?) eligible for an upgrade to a Hopper for no contract. Back when there was a DIRT person (Speedy I think) here he had told me. However I was and still am on contract for the price reductions so that may play into it. Maybe they offered it to me because they knew I wasn't going to take it..... 
Where are our Dish reps anyway? I thought they're supposed to be monitoring this thread since we got them back.I am (or was?) eligible for an upgrade to a Hopper for no contract.

Why don't you use a NY address for your service address, until the Super Bowl is over?
The OTA is an option. DISH pulled up a website and could see (likely) I could get the 4 networks OTA. That was the deal.....if I can get the 4 networks OTA they'll give it to me. If not, they said the tech would take it back. They used a website as a guide and it said I was good to go. So they sent the tech out and the moment he got here he said it would be no problem as I am 8 miles from most of the antennas and he's installed them in the area. We have lots of hills here, and that did not matter.
They used antennaweb.org to check it and it says from my location I could get all 4 networks. I can and and tons of sub channels.
You may be surprised.

Being 8 miles from all four transmitters seems a little different than
Yes, eight miles is much different from my situation. One ABC affiliate is only 12 miles away and I get it with rabbit ears but the towers of the other locals are a long way off. CBS for example is 56 miles away and is listed on the website for antenna reception as "challenging to receive", which means I have little chance. The Fox channel is listed as "50/50", which is a hit or miss proposition. They'll resolve this dispute before long, at least I am hopeful and all this will be mute.
I swear anyone posts those words "Service address change" and somehow you know....
