I'm still getting Dallas FOX as one of my two FOX channels on E* (the other is FOX LA).

There was a post somewhere suggesting they would automatically switch people with Dallas Distants to, I beleive it was, Chicago Distants when the time comes.

The only problem might be if you are receiving the Dallas Distants under Grandfathering.

I currently am receiving Dallas CBS and FOX, but switching me to Chicago or any of the others would not be an option, since I get all of them on one account or another. :)

The rumors have been that they will move the networks for Dallas onto the spot beams. Unless you are within a couple hundred miles of Dallas you will not be able to see them.

I would expect the distants to shrink more before long... With all the LIL going on now, demand for distants is probably dropping fast. Even if you are in a white area, most probably do not care to watch distants when LIL is available.

I bet in a few years Distants will be just NY/LA/Denver. I speculate they will keep Denver since most of the white areas are out west and Denver is a popular replacement.
