It will get denied. I did the same thing. fuggin bastards. I am in the same boat and want to get locals. Just this week I have tried out the indoor models and they suck. Took them back. I guess I am going to have to go the outdoor antenna. Just am not sure what to get.

I just thought of something else, Greg. I think the cable company, by law, has to offer a locals only package at a nominal price. I don't know if you want that but it is an option.

Bman, I did this a long time ago in a far away galaxy. Got the stiff arm so I sent a letter to all the stations and copied a congressman for the area who had been know for supporting this. Got a letter in a week.

Terrestrial broadcast is fast becoming obsolete and it amazes me why stations hold on so hard.

Another thing is if they deny, send a letter to the FCC and copy the broadcaster.

Two great ideas!

I will follow up using both techniques, if I get the go pound sand letter. So I take it after you did that, they "changed their mind" and decided it wouldn't be such a bad thing for old Jack to get the free pass?

So no pictures showing your legs pointing upward out of a snow drift or six holes in a 3 inch group in the dish. A very disappointing end to a thread that had great potential :shake:

Thanks Skip, if you antenna replacement doesn't do the trick, I will look into it. If not for Sunday Ticket, I would tell Direct TV to go hang it where the sun doesn't shine. If this can't be resolved, I will consider it anyway. That would also save me a land line phone bill.

I don't think a land line is required any more. Too many people with cell phone only.
