Local Channels in USA

[Ceas2182]

Anyone have 2 or more local channels? I am in LA, I want to have locals from NY too. Has anyone tried for 2 or more local channels?

this used to be very easy to do, not so easy anymore.

goto dishnetwork's website go to add programing, go to locals and it will tell you if you qualify for any of the distant feeds.

you can always go for an rv waiver.

Too bad we are not allowed to purchase local
channels for whatever market we choose.

dish fought for that at one time and lost.

and we can thank the deep pockets of the NAB for that.

Really sad when the only way to get distants or another areas locals is to "move"

Yep. Can you imagine if the same rules applied to newspapers? It just goes to show how outdated and silly the whole thing is.

I'm in Calif. I have all L.A. local channels plus ABC and CBS Distant Local (NY)plus "superstations" that include WB and UPN Central time and Eastern TIme. Requested waivers and got them for ABC and CBS. didn't need them for superstations.

My dad has 2 locals. He gets the DFW locals and the Wichita Falls locals. He lives kinda in the middle of those 2 markets.
