    Dish Locals VS. DTV Locals

    Dish Locals VS. DTV Locals

    I was going through Direct TV web site and saw that they have additional local channels compaired to Dish. They have what is called Neighboring Local Channels. Meaning I would be able to get some channels from MA and RI (I live in Northeastern CT) So I would get all the local channels...
