are you in Tempe? i thought maybe its because i'm in east tennessee, and that maybe we just couldnt get it here, period...but if you're getting it in tempe, i should be able to get it just north of chattanooga...eh?

nope....tried all the guides, no 421...and i did this before i went out to cut 3 acres of grass...
i would think that would give them ample time to push a freakin button....

and seriously...that is what they told me in chat....i was like, i'm bringing it back to tn when i head back home and got nothing....i dont think i was actually chatting with someone....but then, on the phone, i wasnt actually talking to someone who could help me either...

im in Rockwall, TX.. just east of Dallas.. they gave me no trouble over the phone, and have obviously switched my area since my guide shows all the NO channels, but im not getting any programming on them yet..

So you have local NO channels, but no CST?

Right now it has been 30 minutes and all I have are the BR locals, and no cst.

you should be able to recognize local channels as the only ones that start with 00 and are in HD..

My BR locals came in within 5 minutes. Pretty and clear just like HD should.

CST on the other hand, is still not showing up on my guide, and yes, I do have it on all channels.

You still don't have any picture?

he asked if i was currently at the address i switched to, after he couldnt figure out how to make it work.. i said that i would be there tomorrow, but was still in Texas at the moment.. he said its not possible to get those local channels from BR in texas.. ??? im gonna hold out hope that one of the gurus will be around tomorrow to give some insight into what i can do..


eta - before they switched, i had a good signal on satellite 110, spotbeam 23.. now i have nothing..

i have no local channels now.....no Chattanooga, no New Orleans, no nothing...im about to call them back and tell them to just switch me back to whatever the hell i had before they started screwing with it. the deal is...if CST is on your guide, then when u go to it, it should be broadcasting because CST doesnt go off air.

im guessing that even though i have dish, i wont be able to get CST because they dont offer it up here with dish.....so even if i told them that i was in new orleans, i still wont get it.....if that makes any sense...
