I went on my DVR to set up the detroit lions game to record tomorrow and found out that my local CBS and FOX stations have been dropped, and this is the only reference I have found to it on satelliteguys. Does anybody know anything about this? I am assuming since we are a small local market there isn't much info. A little disappointing for this to happen during the lions first playoff push in over a decade.

http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-forum/273822-blackout.html is a thread on the channels being dropped

The owner wants more money..dish said no and the channels got dropped for the time being
(and no DIsh cannot import a neighboring one)

Yeah I remember how all this works from the last time, and I blame the stations more than dish. But it is upsetting that this is allowed to happen.
