silver package??

[mjneppl]

right now i have the bronze package--- i have to pay $5 extra for the locals--i can get the locals for free and in HD over the air.

what package can i get and not have to pay the $5?---if i upgrade to silver does that do it?

Just tell Dish Network you no longer wish to have local channels with them. Thats It.

ya--but will i still be charged?

the $5 fee allows the guide to be populated for the locals. Otherwise it will say "digital local" and you'll have to set manual timers

Keep the locals for ease of programming. It's worth it.

This is a related question. I receive locals from my own DMA, but I can also receive locals from the next DMA over OTA in HD. I have a 622, and I currently don't receive guide listings for the OTA channel (which Dish doesn't carry as a local channel). Should I receive this in my guide (in other words, am I doing something wrong), or since Dish doesn't carry the channel in its packages, do they not offer guide details for the channel?

No, they do not.
