Ok, now here is an interesting one...

I live in Georgetown, DE. My DMA is Salisbury, MD (CBS, ABC, WB, & UPN are our local networks) So that being said I can only get Fox and NBC as distant networks and I am about 20 miles shy of being able to get Philadephia as locals so I am stuck with rabbit ears....

Now... when it comes to Blackouts (Phillies games, Eagles games, etc) They black out the netorks saying I am in the Philadelphia DMA... IE: last night TBS had Atlanta at Philly and they blacked it out, so since I cant get Philly local stations at all I am sol...

What can I do about this????

One system at dish says I am in Salisbury (which unfortunately is true) and the other says I am in Philly...

Strange???
