Wait a second walt. Since according to the LILR we can only get CBS (ABC but not really) via OTA since we cant get FOX and NBC cant we pay the 1.50 and get the HD versions of the network feeds? If Im wrong let me know. I was under the assumption that we could just like with the CBS feed. I do have a email from the manchester NH ABC affiliate that for some reason LILR thinks I can get and the system engineer there said that if for some reason dish wont work with us on the obvious screw up with the LILR they would give me a waiver no questions asked.
First off what's this "we"
? I have never been able to get any CBS local, analog or digital OTA, even after I invested over $500 last Summer in a good rooftop antenna with a rotor & amp. You and I are on different sides of some of those hills, so I have absolutly no shoot at any of the Burlington / Plattsburg stations. As for ABC, I wonder if the prediction model is assuming that WMTW is still on Mt Washington even though the transmitter burned down over 5 years ago?
Anyway, I don't get anything close to watchable for any Fox, ABC, UPN or WB either. The only thing I do get is WNNE-DT and the Vt & NH digital PBS stations.
From what I've read in the many threads over the last year, I was very lucky to get the NY CBS HD feed from Dish. Sure, I'm justified but I think it may have been a fluke.
The forums are filled with people that get nothing OTA but still can't get the HD DNS from "D" nor the CBS HD feed from "E".
Until the FCC comes up with a real "digital prediction model" that works, most people that can't get their digital networks OTA are not going to get them from "E" or "D" either unless they get waivers. And we know how some stations are about waivers. Then to top it off, the FCC ruled that a denial of a waiver can no longer be appealed with a signal test until there is a digital testing system in place, which is next Spring for some dmas and a year beyond that for the rest.
