I'll switch as well if you can get me DC Locals, so I can watch the skins. But are the locals not on spotbeam now?

Unfortunately, you're locked in to what locals you receive by your zip code. Now last year, I picked up a New York CBS station during football season so I could see the Jets games. But I believe the FCC passed a law prohibiting picking those out of market channels up. I do know that there were out of market Chicago networks available....when I run another sale, I'll check to make sure for you.

dishnetwork has a ton of locals on their basic 110/119 alignment. Many of those locals are Conus, which basically means everyone has access to them without any kind of spotbeam issues. The locals that arent on conus are spotbeam....ill post a link that will tell you if the locals you want are on conus or spotbeam.

Mik I know you know the answer to this, are the local channels on spot beam?

If I can get DC locals on that satellite, how much does the equimpement cost?

Hey, I just sell the stuff, I don't program the satellites!

pvfan, the d.c. locals are spotbeamed for the northeast....chicago is on conus......I know I can "pretend" to have an RV and get the chicago locals that way since they give you a choice, but Id have to get my brother in law to use his commerical drivers license and sign up for them.
