Title: Ad I saw... Local on the 8s on DISH?
Post by: Spring Rubber on October 20, 2008, 02:03:41 AM

I saw an ad tonight and last night featuring Jim Cantore claiming that DISH has an actual Local on the 8s in addition to the interactive feature. Is this true, or it is still just the interactive feature?

Most likely the same DirecTV feature. Either way it'll be interesting.

Hopefully I'll have time to look for more information later. In the meantime, anybody else got any info?

Looks like another excursion to another next door hotel/suite doing cable through Dish Network.

Do they have a modern box that has interactive capabilities?

The ad is a local ad through Dish that airs on other channels. ;)

Darn, In other words, you never know when it's going to be on.

If it's not too much trouble, someone try and get it put it on youtube.

Thanks!
