Bill,
Why are you of all people asking me ? You tell me whose doin the rippin !
I know my OTA locals are not coming from the same place as my sat locals.
What I said was,..."they" are getting the locals from the same place as I would be, which is OTA, (out of the air) and if I get them for free, I'm sure they get them for free. So why/are they pulling the HD out of the signal ??.......so they can charge me the extra to get it in HD ?? Of course they are ! But don't ask me,....I asked you first, remember ?

which I don't get, or pay for on the Sat locals. So then I raised the question,.... why not ?? They get the locals from the same place I do, and I get them in HD by no choice. So how is it that they are not rebroadcast in HD ?? How is it not against FCC law for them to rip me off for my HD ?? Is this something that they will be forced to pay me lots a money thru a class action lawsuit for ripping me all these years ? Ok, I'm not holding my breath:R
The OTA TV channels ARE NOT coming from the same place if you are comparing the OTA broadcast to the satellite broadcast. I remain a bit confused about what your rant is about. Who do you believe is ripping you off? The FCC? The local OTA broadcast? The satellite TV providers? HD is available via OTA and via satellite TV in nearly every market. I apologize in advance for my ignorance but I need a bit of clarification in hopes of being able to provide some reasonable feedback.
