HD Channes Moved, ABC HD Now on 119

[rstokas]

Lots of changes this morning. ESPN is back on 110, HD NET on 110. ABC E W and NBC E on 119.

Good news for me, I only get 101 and 110. 119 is blocked. But I do move in a week and will get all of them!

Is the PQ any better than it has been in the last year?

No discernable difference to my eyes...

If I get the East ABC should the West be on to at no additional cost?

 

[dfergie]

It should... I get all but abc...

 

[yukon]

hmm.. ok... well i get abcE now, but when I turn it to the west it says not subscribed.... strange

 

[dfergie]

Let me backtrack on that... the Csr gods decide who gets what feed... (shivera is supposed too)you can submit more waivers... I was grandfathered in...

You will only get both East and West feeds if you have waivers for the network affiliate or if you qualify for DNS. Of course you have to pay for them as well, I think it is 2.25/Month per network. If you get the HD feed because you are in an Owned and Operated network affiliate area, then you will only get either the East or West feed.

geez gotta love all the laws and rules.. Ok maybe its O&O but how do I know that?? They didn't turn it on.. they told me it was a waiver..... who knows...

I sure am really getting screwed by this DNS deal. Where I'm at the are NO HD channels OTA. Yet when I sent the waivers in to CBS, ABC, FOX, and NBC all but NBC denied me. Which is really stupid.

So maybe send them a letter saying that you are going to do a signal test for their digital signal and they get to pay the bill and you still get the DNS service

 

[yukon]

Yeah they only wanna give me the ABC.. sux

 

[Mike McGann]

Bleaah.

Thanks to tree issues, I can't get 110 without setting up a third dish.

So I lose HD-Net and ESPN and get WABC-HD, while I have a perfect HD OTA from WPVI-HD.

Grrrr. I'd kill for a good local installer, but there aren't any who meet my standards. (I'm an ISF tech and a THX Level II certified theater designer)

Maybe one of those new, giant dishes will help after the transition to MPEG-4. But I'm not holding my breath.
