also remember that antennas are going out of date in feb, im assuming everyone has been seeing this themselves but no one has said it yet. you need to get that box for a digital signal for those channels instead of antenna.
i also was wondering how well dish has become. does it still get knocked out every time a storm rolls in or does it actually stay on?
we have dish at where I work and it fucking sucks
it goes down everytime we have extreme weather ie wind gusts over 20mph, sprinkling rain or anytime its anything other than blue skies and sun
Nothing pisses me off more than watching an hour of a movie and then having the screen freeze and the “searching for signal” pop up
it also depends on how good your signal is, if the dish itself is secured to the building etc…
when we first got dish network waaaaay back before directv, the idiots forgot to tighten the bolts down and it kept losing the signal every time a gust of wind rolled through.
right, now what about cloud cover/ rainy day?
it really has to be nasty out for it to be a bad signal. snow gets stuck on there sometimes, nothing a broom cant handle(if you can reach it).
Antennas are not going out, only NTSC broadcasts (standard definition TV) are going out. HD broadcasts over the air will continue same a now. So if you have an antenna hooked into an HD TV*, you’ll still be able to watch all your regular over-the-air channels including the Bills games for free.
Converter boxes are for your grandparents who still use a 4:3 NTSC standard definition TV and watch Oprah over-the-air.
* Provided your HD TV has an HD tuner built in.
i was pissed last night when i went to watch trueblood on hbo on demand and they said it was no longer available
i called and aparently hbo pluued the show from od, not tw. i was still rather upset 
correct, basically you need to have a digital antenna, or the box to convert it. most if not all newer tvs have them built in.
cool cool, thanks guys
whoever installed your dish sucks ass and cant read a compass then, because mine rarely goes down especially when it sprinkles.
Mine works fine in rain. In real heavy rain it will go out but that passes in a few minutes.]
When it was first installed I had trouble in wind but it was because the installer missed the roof rafters and had secured the dish just to the roof plywood. Once that was fixed and it was actually mounted to something secure wind hasn’t been an issue.
id still rather have nothing go out! lol and also id rather not have to go outside and brush the snow off it every time it snowed heavy or wet snow!
i dont watch channel 4 or cw23, my gf does
I do not care.
What I do care about is how like 90% of thier ondemand programs were removed tuesday and not replaced by anything.
Congrats, I’d rather have a quality picture and a DVR that doesn’t lock up once a week, which is why I left TW. 
lol i dont watch much tv as it is though. so i mean i really cant say to much about how tw is. but i mean i remember watching sabres games and getting very very very pissed when the picture cut out right on a break away or powerplay
They need to have their dish serviced then. It shouldn’t go out that much.
Go to radio shack and buy an amp for your antenna. It’ll boost your signal.
Let me know if you if you have any questions about Dish. I install for them.
Wouldn’t you rather save money?? If installed properly, dish rarely goes out. Snow is not really a problem either. Maybe once a winter for me.
What ones are you talking about? They change it up quite a bit…
They added a bunch of HD channels to the free HD tier, then they took them away.
Now I get a bunch of shitty HD channels, but its no extra charge so I can’t complain.
Still paying 39.99 for 12 months with TW for digital cable with the free HD tier., then I’ll call them up and threaten them to give me another 12 months at the same rate.
so…
im watching letterman…
and it is 12:10am on 10/3…
so apparently wivb hasnt been pulled from twc?
this whole thing has been obnoxious. if wivb is pulled, i will drop twc, and switch next week.
Then switch, wivb as of now is no longer on TWC.
