Forget WKRG, other locals news programs are better, DISH just give us CBS from any source. It seems that DISH could give us CBS somehow?

We pay for local and should have all local. Enough of this. Get busy and get wkrg back on air. Deal should have been reached by now. We pay for local and should have all local. Enough of this.

That is why I switched to dish years ago. Channel 15 comes in nice and clear and I like their news broadcast a lot better. Had never watched their broadcast until now. I do like cbs programing a lot better and Alabama / auburn football on dish. I can be content with the attenna and listen to football on the radio if I have to.

They expedited the shipping for free, so I should receive it tomorrow via UPS. The module will show the OTA stations in the guide and allow recording, etc while adding an additional tuner. I'll never be affected by blackouts again! I called 1-888-615-3725 and DISH is sending me a USB module that will connect my OTA antenna to their Hopper!

If you really really want to watch their programs, you can most likely get it in HD over the free airwaves. So... cut Media General and lower our prices on Dish ! Hmmm....

Settle this now and give us back our channel 5. Why are you being so greedy. You are loosing a huge market by not airing the channel. I am disgusted with Media General and there greed.

By Wednesday I realized I liked WPMI local news much better. I doubt I'll ever switch back. Thanks guys for being so greedy and forcing me to see I was missing out on other better options.

It appears that greed is at the bottom of this situation. After today, I do not care. Tomorrow I am going back to cable and will not have to worry about not have a satellite signal every time it rains, whether a little or a lot. Plus it will be a lot cheaper for me. Also, I am tired of the cost for Dish going up and never knowing for sure what I owe on my bill because they keep changing the cost. I am using my friend's TV and antenna until tomorrow when I am switch over to cable. Good luck to every one.
