The court issued a preliminary injunction against PrimeTime 24 and the distributors of its network property, such as DirecTV and Echostar. Broadcasters offered to delay enforcement until January 1, 1999. The satellite industry rejected the offer. The easiest thing to do is get a good quality rooftop antenna to operate in conjunction with the satellite dish. The outdoor antenna will enable you to watch the ABC broadcast network for free on WCHS-TV8.
Outdoor antennas are inexpensive when compared to the cost of a satellite dish.
The antennas are readily available from several retail outlets in the area. If you have an outdoor antenna, you'll want to make sure it is properly connected to your TV set.

The SHVA permits broadcast network affiliates the right to grant a waiver to satellite viewers with special reception circumstances. Some viewers ask for waiver letters because their homeowners association does not permit outdoor antennas.
