I "moved" to the new york dma today, and cant get CW11, none of the locals on their regular channels work and i know thats because of the spotbeam im not in, but i get the new york locals in the 80s and the 380s,, but not CW, i thought it was CW 11 from new york, or is it the cw feed from LA? is there any way to get CW11? I need it for some mets games id be missing otherwise

I could be wrong but I think 385 is Standard Definition CW from NY. You should also get the standard local channels in the 1-13 range if you live in NY... I'm not sure if the "moved" means you physically moved or just moved your account to that zip.

CW is only broadcast locally. D* does not have it available as a distant network like they do with CBS NBC ABC and FOX. Only way you'll be able to get CW11 (WPIX) is to be within the spotbeam for the NY area, sorry.

Edit: Actually I do see the 385 channel you mentioned before and it does say CW. I am in the NY DMA and I get a "channel not purchased. (721)" message.

That CW that you guys are seeing is the CW feed from Baltimore. Its for those subs that have no CW feed in their area.

switch to Dish network. Dish net offers CW-11 in their "Superstations package" nationwide.

And yes, the reason your not seeing it is cuz you are NO WHERE NEAR the NY spotbeam out there in Utah.

Or if you don't mind the extra equipment, you could add DISH network and just get WPIX. It'd probably be about $8/month with the taxes and the $5 access fee (the fee for not having a programming package). Add in WWOR and/or the other three super's for a few dollars more.
