ABOVE and beyond the regular high mthly fee I pay DISH network for satellite programming, I ALSO pay an extra fee for local channels and ANOTHER extra fee for HD programming. In spite of all of that, they tell me I STILL won't be able to watch the Superbowl in HD even though I pay for it and it is broadcast in HD by Fox. OTA doesn't work where I live, so I'm forced to watch the game on my $8K setup in pathetic crummy SD- In-effin-credible.
That is nothing short of CRIMINAL.
WHY DISH?? WHY after paying through the nose for local channels PLUS HD programming will you NOT give me LOCAL HD programming?!?!? Are you not already making ENOUGH money off me???
We who live in upstate NY want and answer and want it NOW.
I also live in upstate NY (Syracuse area). I'm in the same boat as you, Dish HD, local channels, but no local HD channels? Why can't they throw us a bone and give us a NY or LA based channel in HD? Luckily I have a good antenna :). But still the most used channels are still the hardest to get? That doesn't make sense.

Well if you've spent 8k on your current setup, why not just get a SonicView 8000HD FTA receiver for $500 more and problem solved?
