    If you are in Boise it is very easy to get a digital CBS signal now with an antenna. Channel 2 was the weakest signal of the all networks but they have increased their power significantly in the last few months.

    "Because the timing for any renewed carriage of our television stations by DISH is uncertain and indefinite, we encourage you to switch to an alternative provider so that you will be able to receive the programming, including our local news, weather, and sports that you have been missing as a...

    Not may happen, it will happen. Passed in the Senate, new vote to be taken in the house that only requires a simple majority to pass. The votes were not there the first time around for 2/3rd but will easily pass when only a majority is needed.

    Got a new smart card for my 501 a few months ago and it installed without problems.

    Lost only CBS here but made this: http://uhfhdtvantenna.blogspot.com/ Put it in the backyard instead of the attic, works great.

    625 is not HD, what would be the benefit? Also, presently the OTA antenna feed only goes the HD TV that is hooked up to the 501. Plan on getting an amplified splitter and running the OTA feed to TV's and the 625. We just got the HD TV.

    I don't have a HD receiver. Have a 625 and 501.

    Put up an antenna. Locals in my area are not HD, with my homemade coathanger antenna now get them in HD. When the missing channel comes back I will have a dilemma. Watch football games (only thing I ever watch on broadcast networks) in HD with commercials or SD on the DVR ff'ing commercials...

    Watched the first 1/2 hour on my SD DVR, was not able to get to the TV until after the game started so I recorded it. When I caught up to live action switched over to OTA HD and noticed a big difference, the picture was much better but Penn St still sucked.

    Thanks Chris, that did it. Looked there before but must not have gone down far enough.

    Question. On the old format I was able to set it so when I hit "new posts" I would not see DirecTV posts (have E*). Now I see everything and can't figure out how to filter out DirecTV stuff?

    Still no channel 2 CBS the Fisher channel here. Did an experiment and made this: How to build a UHF HDTV Antenna....CHEAP! Put the antenna outside in a large pot in the backyard. Now I'm picking up all the locals in HD, thinking of dropping the Dish locals to save $5 a month. If not for...

    I've never experienced rain fade? Have had dish in 3 different homes in the last 10 years and have set up the dish on a tripod in my motorhome in numerous locations (15-20), most in Oregon where it does rain a little, and have never lost a signal in the rain. What am I doing wrong to miss out...

    I agree. It was only slightly misleading in that it failed to mention converter boxes could be used to watch the digital signal on old analog TV's. Not a scam at all.

    Not hard to get the locals in most areas in Boise with an antenna. I hooked one up when I moved in 2 years ago, used it for 2 weeks before the Dish was installed. Got most channels on digital except channel 2 (CBS).

    Will be interesting to see what the numbers do when they upgrade to the new signal meter. I normally only get about 50-55 on 119 and slightly less on 110. That is with a dish 500 on a tripod for the motorhome. I've found that if the signal is 40 or above I never lose reception even in storms.
