I recall seeing somewhere that Locast is expecting the case to go to court sometime this summer. Locast so far covers the top 20 DMA's (2021 rankings) with the exception of Cleveland/Akron (19), and Portland is 21st, so there's certainly reason to hope it may be covered pretty soon.

You didn't think Dish was already involved when they added the Locast app to the Hoppers?
The app is on the Dish Hoppers as well, whether your service address is in a Locast DMA or not. As a mobile full time RV'er, it's always nice to find we're in a location where it works on the Hopper. but otherwise we just use Locast and a VPN on our Firestick to grab the closest DMA that does have Locast service. Right now we're getting the Orlando, FL DMA on the Hopper, and when we move southwest to a different RV park tomorrow, I think we'll be getting the Tampa, FL DMA.

Take a look at Stremium.com. They offer a DVR service that works with Locast and some other streamers for $5/mo per 25 hours of recording time. Their guide can combine several streamers into a single cohesive guide.
I can confirm that Stremium works with Locast, and with Sling. They also have some FREE channels in the Stremium app. They have various levels, there's FREE (no dvr) and several paid levels depending on how many dvr hours you want.
