I'm also in the DFW area. My Ka/Ku dish was installed this morning and I also see some artifacts on CBS 11. I'd have to say that the installation was sort of a joke, at least as compared to the DirecTV ka/ku dish install training videos. I'm quite certain that I had done significantly more research on this install than my installer had. He basically adjusted for signal on 101 and said that was good enough. But, I wanted the MPEG4 dish more for future HD offerings than for locals. I've got an antenna as well, with separate satellite and antenna feeds, so the HD locals via sat are nice but not essential for me.lagmandan said:
When the weather warms up a bit I'll do some fine tuning myself. In the meantime, if I see a lot of quality problems I'll have them send Mastec out again.
The only HD locals available via satellite right now are 4, 5 and 11. D* is still negotiating with ABC - channel 8. Based on what I read in the Dallas Morning News a week or so ago, other HD local channels will be added only after the full national HD local rollout.

They may be planned for addition after the national rollout of ABC/CBS/NBC/FOX is complete. I get the same thing, "A3 3" on thos channels. But, D* issued a press release that was published in the DMN that clearly said nothing other than ABC/CBS/NBC/FOX until a later date.
It looks like channel 21 and 33 are going to be on one of the other satellites that is not up yet, since when I try to tune to those channels it gives me a no signal error, not a channel not available error.
Same here Neutron. Doesn't sit too well for me to not have all channels that I can get from an antenna.Neutron said:
