"Joe,
There is a little known way to get locals via satellite i got this from a tech forum im not advocating it, but for people that want to its an option until the locals get on the ball
Step by step process for moving.
1. Pick a real city that you can get locals from by spot beam or conus beam.
2. Do a google search for movie theaters in that city.
3. Add an apartment number to that address you found from that google search.
4. Plug into address broker for DISH and see if you qualify.
5. Call DISH and say I moved to new address , here it is and by billing will stay what it already is (real address) and my phone number is staying the same as is.
6. Tell CSr that you want the locals for that new town . She activates them
7. Watch and enjoy your new locals.
**Remember you will need to do a switch check and let the receiver download the guide to get your full guide information or wait for 24 hours and it will update itself.
1. Do a google search for movie theathers in Cleavland Ohio and get a real address like 4800 North st. Cleavland, Ohio zipcode #. Add an apartment number to that address like #526 or any other number you like.
2. Run the address through the address broker on the dishnetwork website and see if you are eligible. If you are eligible and can receive them in a spotbeam of less than 100 miles or so , go to the tech chat on the dish website.
3. Sign in to the tech chat and tell the csr that you have already moved to the new service address and installed your sat dish and you are receiving all your national sat channels. You want to get the Cleavland locals instead of the ones you have now. Tell them that your billing address & phone number stays the same , just your service address is different.
4. The csr makes the change and you now have C. Ohio locals.
***Remember though that if you need to return a broken receiver to DISH that you will have to SPECIFY that they send the replacement receiver to your BILLING ADDRESS. If you want tech service , you will have to "move" back to your real address ,unless you use a local tech to fix your problem. I would also keep your new service address written down somewhere because DISH will ask for it at times , when you call in to talk to them."

This use to work very well however some of the company's are now only setting up service to the billing address.
ReplyDeleteOr you could do it the right way and go through All American Direct and pay like $60.00 for a year of Fox and NBC. Plus you get them from channels on both coasts, so if you forget to DVR House or Friday Night Lights and you miss it at 8, you have a second chance at 11.
ReplyDeleteI got Fox, NBC & ABC thru All American Direct and it only cost me
ReplyDelete$9.99 a month extra. I get them from Atlanta and San Francisco.
I tried this in the past week but was told by Dish Network they will only set up service at the billing address.
ReplyDeleteit works best if you use the online chat option. even better if you have an actual address from a relative/friend that lives in the area your looking to use.
ReplyDeletei know more then 1 person that has done this.
it wouldnt be necessary if wboc and wmdt would get on the ball and get carried. its not a question of market size, there are many smaller markets that are carried
So, in other words, LIE.
ReplyDeleteWhat's America coming to??
ReplyDeleteWhy are petty fraud and illegal downloading now considered normal activities?
What happened to honesty, integrity, and honor?
Another bit of info for Satellite users... As of 2/18/09, Neilson has realigned some designated market areas (DMA's). One of the market areas is Salisbury. They are now including all of Dorchester county in the Salisbury market (whereas before it was in the Baltimore market area).
ReplyDeleteWhat this means is that the Salisbury market has just increased greatly. Perhaps now WBOC (Greg Jahelka)will allow the satellite companies to broadcast their signal. A lot of Dorchester county residents may be upset when they find out that they will no longer be able to get their locals because Salisbury stations wont send the signal to satellite companies
Folks who lived as close as Vienna could get the local Balto channels for free on their DirecTV sets.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if those have been cut off this past week?
