When Directv carried all the local channels?
Wouldn't it be the bomb if they could carry all the east coast and midwest local stations?
What is the point of having satellite TV when you can't get all the locals?
When did Congress pass that rule that banned Directv from carrying local channels out of market?
The only channels I can get are FOX NY, ABC LA, and ABC NY and I have to pay for those.
They blocked FOX LA on channel 389 two weeks ago
NBC and CBS won't allow the LA & NY feeds.

MUCH better service than local cable
Lower monthly bill than cable
DirecTiVos (I have 3)
More channels to choose from

Fortunately for me, the new law allows me to have my locals delivered by satellite AND keep my beloved NY/LA distants for ABC, NBC, CBS & Fox. I have to pay an extra $9 for all 8 channels, but I don't mind
