I don't want to lose my East Coast N.Y. locals. I got waivers at the time but with MPEG4 locals I fear I will lose them if I make the switch.

I have the NY CBS feed and when I upgraded in June of 06 and started receiving the Baltimore MPEG4 HD locals I did not lose it and I still have it to this day. So you should keep them. At some point in time everyone will lose them when all HD is moved over to MPEG4.

No, you will not lose them unless you move or request to drop them.

I was worried i would lose mine also, but when i switched to the HR20 back in may i still have my east coast feeds (all 4 networks), but i also still use my HR 10-250 HD-TIVO.

I made the call and they will be installing this Tuesday. All they charged me was $21.19 for shipping. Cool beans.

I think you would have to be out of your mind to drop them. Because as I understand it, if you drop them you can't get them back :eek2: I'm holding on to mind for as long as I possible can :)
