Dish Network HD Plans Still On Track

Dish Network dishHD subscribers can breathe a sigh of relief. Despite the recent launch failure of the AMC-14 satellite, Dish Network still plans on reaching their goal of 100 HD channels and 100 HD markets by the end of 2008. The AMC-14 satellite, launched Friday March 14, was the first of three satellites to be launched this year, enabling Dish Network to expand their High Definition programming. The satellite fell short of its intended orbit, but is said to be operating normally. A decision has not been made yet as to what to do with the satellite. Despite this setback, Dish Network still feels confident they can continue as planned with the HD rollout with two more launches scheduled for later this year.

This should come as good news to both current dishHD subscribers and future subscribers. Dish Network offers a wide range of standard and high defintion programming for much less than other digital cable or satellite tv providers. Also, new customers can upgrade to the Dish Network High Definiton DVR for free, which can cost as much as $299 with other providers.

Your Local Networks May Be Lost in 2009 - Are You Prepared?

There are many underserved consumers in the United States that cannot receive their local channels. There are many reasons why this may be. Some are listed below, along with actions that you, the consumer, can take if you are affected by this.

Changes to the legislation that governs this will be taking place in 2009. Now is the time for you to speak your voice and opinions about the options available to consumers. You can go to
www.MyDistantNetworks.com, a website offered by AllAmericanDirect.com, to contact your representatives today.

Just because you currently receive your local channels, does not mean you won’t be affected by the changes. Please read further to see how you may be impacted.

Q: I live where I can’t get all the networks, and I’ve been denied a waiver, what should I do?

A:
1. Continue to contact your local station with requests.
2. If you must, elevate your concern to the General Manager of the station. We have seen that persistence pays off for some customers.
3. Write your representative about changing the legislation. Please be sure to include your personal story of frustration in trying to obtain waivers. Congress is revisiting the current legislation in 2008 and voicing your concerns will impact the upcoming changes. . To see a sample letter and find your Congressional representatives go to
www.mydistantnetworks.com.


Q: What if I currently get 1 or more Distant Networks, should I be concerned about the new legislation?

A: Absolutely. As reported in the NY Times on February 11, 2008 approximately 5.9 million people will lose at least one network signal after the digital conversion in February 2009.

If you are currently qualified to receive less than 4 Network stations you are likely to loose those other stations that you currently are not qualified to receive. You need to write your representatives in Washington about changing the legislation. Please be sure to include your personal story of frustration in getting good quality television pictures where you live. Let them know if other channels go dark during the digital conversion you want to be automatically qualified to able to get the other Distant Networks turned on by simply calling AllAmericanDirect.com and not having to go through a confusing qualification and wavier process that may leave you without your favorite TV programs for weeks, months or years.
