Snook,

I live in the same zip.

WOAY & Dish Network have not worked out their disagreements about compensation yet (at least that's what I hear from someone who knows someone who works at the station).

So, there is no ABC (yet) for the Bluefield/Beckley DMA.

I think that they will keep negotiating.

If you want to, write to Rick Boucher, as he is on the congressional committee that oversees satellite/cable/tv/telecommunications, etc.

so we really have no way to get ABC because of the new dish not getting the 119 location where the ABC that allamericandirect has comes from. I member back in the day with the distant hd feeds of ABC come from 61.5 they should have never done away with that channel

Dish has not been able to give distant networks for several years now. Also, if you cannot get a local network channel due to a contract dispute, AAD will probably not be able to supply one to you even if you had a dish looking at the sat they supply the channels on. You can either try to get your locals via OTA, try to get your local channel to end the dispute or "move" to an address that can get you their local channels.

If you have an eastern arc dish you can add a 2nd dish for 119 for AAD
The EA dish has an input spot on the LNB

Some markets until recently required 2 dishes for locals because the HD locals (just the BIg4) were on EA but the SD channels were still on 110. Buffalo, NY was an example

Why can't you have two dishes?

 

[snook2448]

I worked with dish for 3 years so i know how everything works, i was just wondering if there was something new in the short time that the eastern dish was out. I knew i could have a 2nd dish but thats more then what i wanna get into right now. We have locals in this area now just no ABC. And i can get abc from all american because i have had it for 2 years now. But it comes from 119. Guess if i wanna cont. getting it i will have to do a 2 dish setup.

 

[Mr Tony]

Since AAD only rents transponder space from Dish they are only on 119 for SD and 110 for HD

My SD ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox are still on 110. I don't have 110 anymore as of last Friday(Upgraded to EA Dish).

 

[snook2448]

if you lost your locals, then you should get the wing dish for 110 for now

 

[snook2448]
