No 58 HD on DirecTV or Dish - imagine that!

Well now that Dish will be carrying HD locals in Milwaukee we see they won't have broadcasting rights to 58-HD ether.  How about that, what have you say for yourself Jim?  As with this news I would take it that DirecTV is not the problem are they?  So I guess we all know were they stand, they are TWC mouth pieces and thats, that. :bang:

Uverse has 58 HD so anti-sat would be more accurate.

Dear Channel 58,

The Masters in HD is fantastic. Too bad for you that I'm watching it on DirecTV's HD channel rather than in SD on your channel and watching your advertising in the process.

Unless they gave U-verse a special deal. I wouldn't say anti-sat.

I don't know what exactly the price is. DirecTV and Dish just don't want to pay it.

It doesn't concern us that can get OTA, but there are some that can't .

I can get OTA, but not always good. I live in Sheboygan and sometimes the weather seems to affect my signal strength. Even with an inline amp. So I will get the second dish. Besides it will make it easier to DVR network shows. If I use OTA I can't record a second OTA show at the same time. Besides the 61.5 sat. is much better than the 129 sat. that a lot of HD is coming from now. A much stronger signal and doesn't go out as fast in the rain as the 129 sat. does.

DirecTV's Masters channels are great.  You can get the regular CBS feed (in HD) as well as a channel that has four different views and the leaderboard, a channel just showing golfers on Amen Corner as well.  

It's great AND no channel 58. :)

If you leave the Mix channel on for too long. A screen saver kicks in. That's good thinking.
