More on this from the Direct TV website

http://directvdnseligibility.decisionmark.com/app/AddressEntry.asp

Some DIRECTV customers, in areas where they cannot receive local channels,
are eligible for DNS (Distant Network Service), which provides Los Angeles
and New York feeds of ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC.

Out-of-market network affiliates are available only to customers who cannot
receive, through the use of a conventional stationary outdoor rooftop
receiving antenna, an over-the-air signal of a primary station affiliated
with that network of grade B intensity (as defined by the Federal
Communications Commission).

This buried deep in their website. There is a form in which you can enter
an address and see which distant networks it is eligible to receive.

Best,

Steve

So why can't DirecTV pay the same fees that cable companies do and broadcast
local chanels? --Frank

I thought the truckers and RV'rs could get the local feeds from wherever
they were, e.g., Miami stations when they were in Miami, Houston stations
when they were in Houston, etc. Sounds like this is not correct?? The whole
idea for me was to be able to get local stations (for weather reports)
wherever I was via the dish.
