How to get local channels?

[Devanshu]

I have dish network and I dont get channels like WB and UPN (I get the other four because I have an RF modulator hooked upto my dish and TV). Of course I could pay the extra 5 bucks a month but to a full time college student, its 5 meals. Is there a way for me to get the other 2 or do I have to give in?

Not sure of your "total" situation but,

You could get a better antenna and pick them up localy. For what it would cost to set that up you could pay "DISH" for 2 years.

What you are saying is you live in a location that doesn't have over-the-air UPN and WB, so you can't get them over an antenna, right?

If so, have you tried calling DiSH to see if you can get them for $1 more? I seem to remember they had a rider exclusion for this type of situation...

Sounds like a good plan to me.

Don't worry, you're not missing anything by not having those channels.

WHAT THE HAY!

'Reba' and 'Grounded for Life' are reason enough for the WB.

Although....there is NO reason to have UPN.

5 bucks is 5 meals?

What the heck do you call a meal, a bag of chips?

Less you pay, they ain't gonna give you anything. Charlie Ergen might sound like the Saviour, but he's in it for money, same like all the rest. You pay, we give, you don't pay, screw you.

One reason I'm off the Dish. You can get a 4 room setup for free, my remote went dead in a couple functions, we'll sell you a whole new system for XXX dollars.

Cheers,

George
