DirecTV in Beaumont, Texas

[jammy]

I used to live in the DFW area of Texas and now I am in Beaumont, TX.

Does anyone have any information on availability of local channels and OTA HD channels in this area?

Is it even worthwhile trying to set up an antenna to get any OTA stuff, or are all the HD channels based in/transmitting from Houston?

Apart from not being able to mount my satellite dish on the apartment building (it is on a tripod on the patio), the installer said that notwithstanding the fact that this tripod would not support a 5LNB satellite dish (I had one in DFW), there were no MPEG4 transmissions available in Beaumont.

Can anyone confirm this info (or does anyone have better info)?

I hope I posted this in the correct forum.

Thank you.

As a follow-up to my original thread, am I right in thinking that there is a smaller version of a 5LNB dish available? How about in this area?

Thank you.

I know DishNetwork carries the Beaumont SD locals... does DirecTV offer these?

Go to the DirecTV website and plug in your zip code. Simple as that.
