i recently moved from NY to los angeles, so it's safe to say i still watch my NYC locals every night...i lost them starting today; i did a blind scan but they were nowhere to be found...anyone have some input as far as locating wcbs, wnbc, wnye, and wabc? (cbs 2, nbc 4, fox 5, abc 7) thanks fellas
you cannot receive your local channels because they are spot beamed to a specific area of the country. You should still be able to receive a couple of locals from the east coast just not from nyc.
yea but i've been having the NYC locals since i moved to LA in march...this only happened since tuesday actually for the past month, (CBS, NBC, FOX and ABC)..i had a note saying SOON MOVING TO ......
This may be part of the "distant channels removed because of court ruling" problem. That yes has been cover a thousand times here and all forum's.
If you are are wanting to see locals from a diferant part of the country than you are located you may be out of luck now. I think the channels that DN used for distant network channels for those subscribers who could not get locals were in fact out of new york. A court ruling has forced DN to remove them from the lineup. Now DN can only to be fair to the real local network channels "beam" the true local channels to your or my area.
If you do a blind scan of all sat's you can receive you will get ever channel avalible in your part of USA. So in closing just do a blind scan.
That is part of the "Distant Network" issues. Of course this is still under appeal, but all local networks will now be spot beamed to their respective areas.
Former Distant locals channels for New York City are now Atlanta CONUS channels and the former LA channel spots are now occupied by the San Francisco channels in the 240's on sat 119.
andrew, how u like L.A?( it's the shiat,huh) I had the same problem. my EPG says channels(CBS,NBC,ABC, FOX)are moving to 8000 whatever but i did a blind scan and got all my locals plus the NYC locals back.
i like LA, but i still consider myself a NY-er...i love to watch the knicks games on msg, i follow the mets on SNY...in other words, i need my NY channels bad...let me try another blind scan, i hope i find the NYC locals
LA and NY locals are spotbeamed to only their geographical aresa..as of today 18 Jan, Atlanta and Frisco locals has replaced those 242-248 LA/NY channels in CONUS (continental US)..
