Dish Network stop Broadcasting National


I just got off the phone with Dish network and was told I cannot get LA west broadcast and my application will not be processed. Some Federal Law. Anyone heard anything else?
Have broadcasts stopped down there?

Jose can you see LA ? NO MAS !


This has been covered quite a bit in two other threads, but Dish Network has been ordered to stop supplying Distant Broadcast Network (FOX, CBS, NBC, ABC) feeds to ANY subscriber not residng in the city's local broadcast area, including those who were RV subscribers.

This was a Federal court decision upheld on appeal which found that Dish Network was supplying those signals to people not eligible. They found the actions so blatant that they ordered the most punitive action they could.
