We are launching a campaign to change the law so that any satellite subscriber can get access to tv stations outside their local market. If you can buy a newspaper in your hometown from any market in the country, why can't you get access to any local tv station? This issue affects many satellite consumers and we need your help to let Congress know that you deserve access to MORE information.

Are you an existing customer?
Since 1988 and the passage of the Satellite Home Viewer Act, satellite companies and satellite subscribers’ access to network programming has been restricted. For example, only those households that live outside of a local tv station’s predicted signal are eligible to get distant network signals. If you live in a market where the satellite provider offers local signals via satellite, you are unable to subscribe to distant network signals. Subscribers whose local television market is close to a state line are sometimes forced to take an out of state tv station as their “local” station. In all of these instances, satellite subscribers are being denied to the network or local tv programming. Read More>>

Are you a denied subscriber?
If you have gone through this process of qualifying to get your distant networks, you know how frustrating it can be. Every satellite subscriber that wants to receive network tv stations from outside their local market must be determined eligible. In other words, the satellite provider can't just take your word for it; your address must be run through a database that checks whether your house falls within the local station's broadcast signal footprint. If it does, then you can subscribe to distant networks and start watching network programs. If the database says it doesn't then you must try to get a waiver from your local broadcaster. Read More>>

Are you an RV owner?
Help make sure RV owners can continue to receive distant network stations. The ability of RV owners to get access to distant network signals is under constant threat. Local broadcasters believe the RV exception is being abused and may seek to get this provision stricken from the law. Congress is actively considering legislation to renew the Satellite Home Viewer Act now. Read More>>

Are you a boat owner?
Advances in satellite technology have resulted in smaller dishes and antennas which has opened up new possibilities for reception of television programming on all kinds of vehicles. Boat owners, owners of recreational vehicles and commercial trucks are purchasing satellite dishes and receiving programming while on the road or open water. RV owners and commercial truck drivers can even receive network signals via satellite dish under a provision in the Satellite Home Viewer Act. However, boat owners are still ineligible to receive distant network signals. Why? Because broadcasters beat back earlier attempts to include marine vessels arguing that it was just a way for consumers to get around the distant signal restrictions. Read More>>
