This is a message many of the free local preview customers will be getting:

I'm can't figure out how to get these free preview sat locals.
I just had my 622 installed with an OTA antenna. Now that I realize I won't be able to see the program info or use the DVR functions on the locals I am thinking about switching to sat locals for a fee. If there is a free preview going on how do I get it? Even if I disconnect my antenna I still don't see the sat locals in the program guide.

I'm not sure who is eligible for free locals preview and who isn't. Someone in another thread suggested that only those with DNS channels were targeted, but I don't have any DNS channels since Dish dropped my CBS-HD channel two months ago. I checked channel 240 anyway which indicated that I should be getting them, so went ahead and looked for them. Someone else suggested that on the 921 locals had to be enabled in the set-up menu. Won't have a chance to check that out for a couple of hours, but maybe something similar is necessary on the 622.
