Now here's a question.. say I wanted to get Pittsburgh Locals because honestly I like them better and from that area. Now If I tell DirecTV that I have a Pittsburgh Address (which would be legit because I stay in Bellevue often) will they switch them over for me and would I get Local HD since thet are available? This is a BIG deal for STEELERS Football season as Johnstown/Altoona will definitely not see local HD anytime soon...Allbeit I am in the Johnstown market currently If I used my sencond address they could just send the signal right? this should work anywhere I connect my receiver to a 5 LNB dish right? Meaning I could have a Dish at the beach and just take my recevier right?

Thanks in advance!

Oh I currently have the 5LNB and the H20-600 waiting on the ever eleusive HR20-700 to get over here!
 
Based on the spotbeam coverage maps I'm looking at

Looks like Beam 4 here

should cover me


looks like If I bring the receiver back and forth from 15202 to 15946 I shouldn't have any issues whattya think...obviously the days of taking it to the beach for locals are gone but If I'm back here I should still get the Pittsburgh Local HD's I guess I can try it and if not oh well go back

ANy Thoughts?
 
It works! I guess I won't get them at the beach but oh well It works between my apartment in a different market and PIttsburgh!!! FINALLY LOCAL HD CHANNELS!!!! THey left the NY feeds on too..I wonder how long till they catch on?
