Live in DEN & get locals. Can I get them in OH on vacation?

OK, I've done a lot of research on this, and am a bit confused.

I live in Denver and get Denver locals. I'm visiting my folks in Ohio for a couple of days, and brought my 301 along to connect to their 'receiver-less' Dish antenna. From my limited understanding, I thought that the Denver locals were on the national distribution, and could be received anywhere. Is that correct?

Because I'm not getting the Denver locals now. Everything else works, but the Denver locals don't show up either in the guide or when doing a search. Is there something I need to do?

Thanks for helping a not-so-new newbie.

The SD locals are on ConUS transponders 12 and 22 on 110W. Are you receiving 110W or maybe just 119W?

OK, I got it working. Among other things, I think I had forgotten to run check switch (my one dish is a quad, and this one is a twin).

Thanks. Problem seems to be solved.
