You should have no problem getting the Columbus locals in Erie. It sounds like your dish could be out of adjustment. Can you post your signal levels when you are getting the locals and when you aren't?

I am nervous - I just emailed Directv and asked to "move" to Caribou, ME. That county doesn't have locals and they receive NY/LA DNS, which will allow me to watch Stanford on Saturdays when ESPN/ABC holds it captive. It will also allow me to have more syndicated HD, and let the Red Sox, Celtics, and Bruins games be not blacked out. I have an AM21 for my real locals. This is the reply I got:
Thank you for writing. I see that you're one of our new customer, I would like to welcome you to the DIRECTV family. We are happy to have you with us. Let me help you with your concern about your service address and local channels.
We want to make sure that your concern is addressed appropriately. Thus, I just wanted to let you know that we received your email and I have forwarded it for special handling. A specialist will respond as soon as an agent is available (likely within 24 hours). For immediate assistance, please call us at 1-800-531-5000.
Should I be worried? Are they going to figure it out? Or is this normal because it's kinda late and only lower-level people are there?

sorry but if you "move" I'd ALWAYS call it in. Also folks who may have e-mailed usually do it to the neighboring market, not 12 states away.
How do I know if I am in the foot print of the satellite needed to pick up locals in a certain area? Say I want NYC local stations vice Boston and I live in NH (zip 03833) would that be possible? I would imagine not from being so far away.
Like Iceberg said, the big four from NYC are CONUS, so you would get them as would anyone in the US. The other NYC locals are on spot beams, but you would almost definitely be able to get them based on the Satmaps link at the top of the page.
looking at a spreadsheet this is the breakdown
Big 4 are CONUS...
WWOR, WPIX, WNET, UNivision and Telfutura in HD...99spotbeam TP16
rest are on 101 TP12 & 20
so just check them in the signal strength screen and see what ya get for signal. But the BIg4 you're good

You wouldn't get NESN if you used a NY address unless you got the sports pack. To get pro teams, you would need to subscribe to EI, Center Court, etc.
and responded
you have to check 99 (s) for the spotbeam signal...99 (c) is conus which should be fine
