Dish Network Customers

I live in Lincoln and I have Dish Network, but I don't get Lincoln stations. I get Omaha ones. Anyone else in the same boat? Dish customers getting Omaha stations, but not Lincoln ones?

pretty sure you should be getting Lincoln Locals. Is your service address your Lincoln address? You should be getting locals from the local DMA that you are in.

Okay, I rest my case.

Okay, if you insist. For a year and a half, I lived out in the country 2 miles west of Ceresco and I first subscribed to Dish. I got Omaha stations. I figured I'd get Lincoln because Ceresco's closer to Lincoln, but no. In 2012, I moved back to Lincoln and they moved my service.

OK

That makes since now Near Ceresco is Saunders Co and part of the Omaha DMA as you know I see. That would get you the Omaha stations voa Dish. If you moved to Lincoln and change your service address with Dish you will be in Lincoln DMA and then get Lincoln Locals. The Lincoln DMA is really kind of strange in the area that it covers but in general a lot of DMA's are not logical

Seward and Butler Counties are part of Omaha's DMA? I figured they'd be part of Lincoln's since Seward (#16) is right next door to Lancaster (#2). And Butler (#25) is just north of Seward.
