I called the "automated number" and got a live lady. Bottom line: If Dish is currently providing you LiLs, you do not "qualify" for their distant networks even though you may not be able to receive networks OTA. The way they are connected with Echostar's database, I am afraid the judge will shut them down!
That isn't what happened in my case, though I will have to wait to see if I actually get them. I got qualified and my credit card charged and I do get locals thru Dish. I guess we will have to see how this all shakes out.
