I have not had dish network programming since May of 2003. I still have a dish (Dish500) and a receiver (DishPro 301). I would like to get my local channels from Dish Network, because my over the air reception stinks out loud. I called the company, and they said that my equipment should work for getting locals, but I need a new access card, which will run be $49.99.
Does that sound right? Or are they just trying to squeeze some money out of a tightwad who only wants locals?
Assuming I do need a new access card to get local channels, do I have any alternatives? Can I get one cheaper from somewhere else?
Thanks in advance.
