Nope, had an outside antenna with rotor, but only received one station clear...think it was channel 28.....
I'm not sure if this HD will work any better, I'll have to look into it deeper. I only need the local Knox channels....

I think they lie in their commercials. But, I'm curious, do you have no ABC affiliate in Nashville? I would have thought you'd get ABC programming from Nashville, not Knoxville.

I guess DISH must have received "numerous" complaints today, because it is now back on the air .........

Squeaky wheel effect.....

I guess they have a contract and it expired and they didn't come to an agreement on $$$ It's back on now, who knows for how long. When DISH set it up they pick the closest place...
