If you call to get your actual locals, your DNS networks will disappear (thanks to the SHVERA issue). I know how you fell. I live in the Greenville/Spartanburg, SC market. Unfortuately, federal law says you can't have the distant networks and your local-into-local networks at the same time (Thanks to the SHVERA issue), we have NO choice but to get local-into-local channels in the "served" areas. I've noticed that the local NBC affiliate (WYFF) does not show the 4th hour of "Today" (the hour Kathie Lee Gifford hosts). There are people being "denied" the availability to watch the Today Show's 4th hour in this area.

And I'm against H.R. 3570 (The Satellite Home Viewer Update and Extension Act of 2009) and I'm against S. 1670 (The Satellite TV Modernization Act of 2009), sorry about talking politics.

Most local commercials in the GSP market are in standard-def, and the local NBC and FOX affiliate ain't doing HD news as of yet. I wished I had the NYC/LA feeds of the four networks plus CW from DC and San Diego and PBS national feed. But unfortunately, it'll never happen. Thanks alot Congress and the NAB!!!
