while it still pisses me off... if you have a DVR it can be very useful having the local package added to your account... especially when you record 2 or more local network programs (OTA + 2x LIL!)
But I agree it should still be free, at least basic (1 or 2 days of) guide data.
With just having gotten a 622 and wanting to watch two different local stations on two different TVs at the same time, it seems we might have to purchase the locals package. It would be convenient to record two locals at the same time as well, and so I guess if I get locals through DISH I will still be able to see OTA locals on TV1?
Here in SLC, of the locals through DISH there are only 3 in HD. OTA there are lot more, and I have been enjoying channel 7 (Local PBS) in HD. The DISH list does not include this as HD.
So my question is... if we get Dish locals, we still will see OTA locals on TV1 as well as seeing Dish locals? Thanks.
Oh and what does LIL stand for, been reading that a lot.
