The local ABC station, WLOS, has been 'announcing' their intended 'fix/repair' for the past year, but zero work has been done. It is all about DISH and Charlie's 'Hopper' gizmo that skips ads on DVR'd stuff, and Sinclair Broadcasting move to pad the bottom line in an already very profitable election year, ad-wise, imo.

I won't miss ABC that much, and we only have a Dish DVR and low def here on the Mtn, but I have ComCrap with a million channels, DVR, HD, On Demand etc, in the FL Starter Shack for 5 months per winter season...

It is just the continual arm wrestle between Sat/Cable and the TV people, mostly based on the faulty 'must carry' and 'carriage laws' done by our elected geniuses long before this current 'media/net' tech & situ evolved.
