  1. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    watching KWCM right now in suburban MInneapolis. Looks really good Also happy 22 is going to be HD soon on Directv. Like watching Lakeland News because have a lakehouse in that area (northern MN) and its nice to see the weather for there
  2. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    I assume thats a glitch saying its in HD when the station is only in 480i widescreen. Charter cable only carries it in SD too (the SD locals are carried on 119 too so assume its a migration as its the only SD only station carried by DIrectv for Duluth)
  3. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    correct. If the station is assigned to a DMA it is in the WHOLE DMA. So basically by gettin on satellite they probably tripled their coverage area. Going from just the western part of MN to almost the whole state (including Minneapolis)
  4. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    yes it will. If its in the Mpls DMA its added to the WHOLE market. Just like KAWB 22 is in Minneapolis, so will KWCM Dish added it a couple weeks ago and its availble in Minneapolis http://www.pioneer.org/news/pioneer-now-on-dish-network-in-twin-cities-directv-coming-soon
  5. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    I was in the same boat last November. Month 24 of 24 on an upgrade (Genie). Called on the last day of the bill cycle and they cancelled it. Now one thing of note. It takes up to 24 hours for the signal to actually be nuked so you will have programming for up to 24 hours after you cancel (my end...
  6. General DISH™ Discussion
    alot of the PBS stations are due to Nielsen changing what market it is in. A couple examples are WOUB being removed from the Charleston, WV market and put in the Columbus, OH market. KENW was moved out of the Albuquerque market and into the Amarillo market. They (KENW) even had a petition going...

    dispute in Alaska Sad that the folks in Anchorage have lost 5 "locals" in the last few days 2 (KYES My and subchannel) due to must carry paperwork 3 (ABC, CW, FOX) due to dispute
  8. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    Gray is being inventive by getting around the FCC rules. What suffers is the fact that they are limiting the possibilities of subchannels. I mean in Grand Island, NE there are now 3 stations total. A CBS/NBC, ABC/FOX and PBS. If you REALLY want to add the 4th (if you have a big VHF Low antenna)...
  9. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    since Jimmy Long nuked my other post for being too long I guess I'll repost it but be shorter from northpine.com They already did this in Nebraska too. They put NBC on KSNB 4 (moving My Network to the -2) and simulcast on co-owned CBS 10/11 (KGIN/KOLN) -2 Directv I think moved NBC from 5 to 4...

    Marquette is in Michigan (MI) not Minnesota (MN) ;)
  11. DIRECTV Programming
    correction. the RSN's are open for the Live games only. As soon as the game is over (and someone at DIrectv sees it) they "lock it" for folks without the RSN pack (so you get the ext 721 message). They dont "open them" until the game actually starts (so you dont get any pregame)
  12. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Directv only carries FS Ohio and FS CIncy in HD during games (like what dish does with all their RSN's) The HD feed is not 24/7
  13. DIRECTV General Discussion
    since the out of market package channels have a SD and a HD (and no way to hide the SD only version) pressing XXX-X is already a requirement.
  14. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Got up this morning and was scanning through the guide. Noticed my RSN Alt channels changed numbers. My local RSN is FSN North (668). FS North PLUS was 652-1. I also got FS Wisco (669-1...blacked out for Bucks and Brewers games) and FS Wisco + (670-1). This morning it looks way different 668...

    yep got an e-mail too

    no different than what is on the directv promise site http://directvpromise.com/

    maxing out the 5 tuners is easy if you like sports....got that issue tonight and I even have to drop the 1 min early on one program to fit everything in (2 network shows back to back on different nets, 1 cable show, 3 sports events) so issue is I cant watch anything else (only have Genie)
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    or if DIrectv doesnt carry them at all ;)
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    according to the RSN look up she gets all 4 chicago teams in choice package if she adds sports pack (or premier) she would get FS North (Twins, WOlves), FS WIsco (Brewers), FS Midwest (Cards, Blues) and FS KC (Royals) Dont understand why the MN Wild wouldnt claim that area too
  20. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Pac12 is college so that is exempt. There are 4 RSN's in the LA area FSN West Prime Ticket (formerly FSN West 2) Sportsnet LA TWCS LA (Lakers) Technically you could say 5 as you also get the spanish version of TWCS LA
