As much as I do like just punching in a channel number on Dish to get the locals, as an active mobile RV'er (in normal times), I do use a variety of ways to get the local news and and network shows as we move from DMA to DMA. If we're staying in DMA for a period of time, changing my service address is simple enough, but for short stays of one or two days, what I typically do is change my service address to a DMA where Dish has CONUS coverage for the network shows, and then read the local news and weather online or stream them if they're available OTA. Many times for overnight stops I don't set up our dish and instead use various streaming options for TV, including DishAnywhere connecting to the Hopper w/Sling at our family cottage in upstate NY. For streaming, between the free "cable channel" apps we can use with our Dish subscription and the Spectrum account I have access to, we can watch pretty much anything we normally do. The only streaming services I pay for are Locast and Stremium (formerly FitzyTV), a combination that gives us both at least regional locals plus DVR capabilities for a number of the channels we enjoy watching. At $10.50/mo combined, I find it well worth it. The bottom line for us and maybe others that may be losing or have lost local channels is that there are options available that can at least make these outages less painful while still giving you the programming that you want.
