I bought a used receiver maybe 2 years ago, activated it, and got both my DMA, and the sellers DMA for about 2 months before his were finally shut off. I also had his America's everything package, which was pretty nice for a couple months.

I had that happen when I "moved" from DC to Pittsburgh, I had both sets of locals for a few months and then lost them. When I lost the DC locals, I believe somebody here said that E* had updated their software to catch that type of situation.

There used to be a glitch in the system a long time ago that allowed you to have locals from 2 different cities, I had a receiver with Pittsburgh and Detroit locals for a few years until the receiver went bad and I had to get a replacement.

I got the receiver from someone in Pittsburgh, and the locals from the previous subscription moved when I transfered the receiver between accounts.

I think that was back in the days when we had the old blue cards

Are there any zip codes where you can get more than one set of locals due to "significantly viewed" rules?

In my county I get Dayton, OH locals. However when they launched the Lima, Oh which are closer I still get Dayton. Even though the online account says I live in Lima's DMA. Not that I care, Lima's arent in HD. So with my Antenna I get 2 different sets of locals.
