Anyone else missing 240 - ABC ? (721)

[UpOnTheMountain]

I can't find channel 245 ABC New York on my 721 guide this morning.

This was a grandfathered channel (part of the newyork distants) that I have been getting for about 5 years.

I'm in the hills so I qualify for nbc and cbs and have a waiver for fox ... but my local abc is a stick in the mud and does not give waivers to anyone.

So if and when they cut off theses type of channels, do they completely disappear from the guide?

 My 245 is not even present in red! :shrug:

Huh? - 240?

240 doesn't even exist - not for a while anyhow..
the last i heard 240 was something like "Dishnetwork info" or something...but it has been gone from EPG for ages now...

as far as i know - ABC NY's info is:

WABC-TV (ABC -7 New York) ABC 245 20 119° E*7

so - ch 245, at 119, tp 20

later....

[UpOnTheMountain]

oops
my bad.

to clarify :

MY
WABC-TV (ABC -7 New York) ABC 245 20 119° E*7
is totally missing from my guide.

Should I assume that this means that Dish has pulled it from me?

[Darkman]

Well - i say - call Dish and ask 'em...

Cuz 245 - Definatly exists (not sure about 721 though)...
Still at 119, still at tp 20...

Look online at your statement and see if you have a credit.

Phil,
Thanks for the suggestion!
I checked and yep, lo and behold they have taketh away.
No biggie though. We never watch ABC.
Can't wait until the super-dish + Roanoke/Lynchburg locals are available!!
But knowing our ABC station, we may have re-transmit contract problems ...

For me, if their is a re-transmision dispute for any of the Chattanooga locals, it would be my luck that it would be FOX61, the only big 4 network station I can not receive ota with my outdoor antenna and they refuse to grant me a waiver.
