CBS New York Ch 80 on D*

[schapko]

Hi all, a month ago I called D* to inquire about the network channels in Hi-Def (80-89)  I was already getting Fox but I wanted to see if I could get the other channels.  The person I spoke to said that I could add my name to a list requesting a waiver, so I did.  And this Saturday I was flipping through channels 80-89 and to my surprise CBS New York Ch 80 was on.  None of the others were except fox NY.  I got a post card in the mail later that day indicating that my waiver was accepted for CBS but not for NBC and ABC.  I live in Greenfield.  I would suggest that everyone call D* and ask to be put on the waiver list.

Scott, I did the same thing about a month ago.  Requested a waiver.  Got the East Coast feeds of Fox and CBS.  Got them both at no addiitonal charge, even though the person I had talked to at the time said they'd cost an extra $1.50 a month.  The person I spoke with said it would take up to 45 days to process the waiver request, but I got mine back in about 3 weeks.

It is nice for those that can't get CBS.  I also called about a month ago, and my waiver must have gone through sometime this last week.  I have not received anything from them in the mail yet though.  I will find that waiver to be a nice piece of refrigerator art.

Anything about NBC or ABC?

All the waiver said was that I was not eligable for the waiver for NBC and ABC.

I asked when I called and they said that my name would go on waivers for all networks. Which ones I am eligible for is another thing.
