Jay Silver Member Username: Ke5aqn Shawnee, OK USA Post Number: 576 Registered: Sep-06	Posted on Friday, January 26, 2007 - 02:48 GMT The LA locals were being used for the distant network channels on dish network. They are now only available from the "spot beam" on 110w...if you live outside of the LA area-footprint you will no longer be able to receive those channels. Do a blind scan of that sat and what locals you get is for your area.......Now their is a way to get the distance network channels now out of Illinois...........this is the way it is now as I understand it. Someone else may know more than I do on this.... ((((my paper grader))) from http://www.dishchannelchart.com/: On October 2006 Dish Network was ordered by the courts to REMOVE ALL DISTANT ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX network channels on or before December 1, 2006. This is a punitive measure against Echostar/Dish Network for flagrant violation of the law that allowed Dish Network to offer these channels in the first place. This ruling affects ALL Dish Network Subscribers with network channels from outside their local area (Including CBS HD) regardless of geographical location, grandfathered status, waivers, RV exemption, Significantly Viewed (channels in the 6000 range) or any other loop-hole one can think of. To be completely clear: NO DISH NETWORK SUBSCRIBERS WILL QUALIFY FOR DISTANT NETWORK CHANNELS THROUGH DISH NETWORK AS OF DECEMBER 1, 2006. The PERMANENT court injunction is all-inclusive for ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox from outside your local area. Other channels, networks, super station, etc are unaffected by the injunction.. You may read the court injunction HERE and the court-authored explanation HERE Dish Network's motion to delay the cut-off to April was denied by the courts. The decision can be found HERE. On December 1, 2006 all Distant Network were removed from all subscribers. DishNets distant networks longer exist HOWEVER.... A company called NPS/All America Direct has contracted with Dish Network to lease a transponder at 119°. As of December 1, 2006 they are offering distant networks on Dish Network channels 5731-5738 (also on channels 241-248 as of 1/17/07). ALL DISH NETWORK SUBSCRIBERS MUST RE-QUALIFY for distant networks. It doesn't matter who your grandfather was. NPS/All America Direct is a separate company form Dish Network and has absolutely no ties to Echostar with the exception that it is leasing a transponder at 119° and providing its own service. Currently NPS offers ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox from Atlanta and San Francisco. As of 12/1/06 the prices are as follows: NBC East and West $2.50 CBS East and West $2.50 NBC East and West $2.50 Fox East and West $2.50 All Four Networks East and West $9.00 East or west feeds are not available individually. If a subscriber qualifies for a network they well get both. To check if you qualify for distant network service, go to THIS web site ------------------------------- On December 15, 2006 the motion to hold Dish Network in contempt of court for creating this deal with NPS and a motion to "Clarify" the injunction to include NPS have been denied. This means that NPS can legally provide distant network channels to QUALIFYING subscriber. On January 8, 2007 the US Supreme Court rejected without comment Echostar's appeal to remove the lower court's injunction. This means that until Congress changes the law, Dish Network will not be allowed to legally sell distant network channels to anyone for any reason. NPS (National Programming Services)/All American Direct is the only solution for those with Dish Network service. On January 17, 2007 Dish Network Replaced the 241-248 Distant Network block of channels with NPS Distant Network Channel. These channels are still in the 5500 block as well as the 240 block now. They are all at 119° transponder 15.
