I highly doubt I'm going to like the answer here but I'm asking anyway.

In my home in Phoenix I get every station in sd and hd. At my home in Arkansas i get NO hd locals. With DirecTV i got all but fox.

is there any options here? can i somehow subscribe to a different market for locals?

Search under the term "moving". More than enough threads on the subject.

Little Rock HD Locals are on the 77 satellite - ABC and CBS only.

If you have the purple cards in your receivers and set up a wing dish on 77, it's automatic if you're in the LR DMA.

If you're fairly close to Little Rock (Conway, Benton, Bryant, Jacksonville, etc.) you should have no problem picking up the locals via an outdoor or attic OTA antenna that you can't get on 77W.

Wow i thought I had notifications turned on here. lol wups!

I don't have a clue whether I can get 77 or not. But of course I watch NBC and FOX mostly lol. I'll see what's up with that but that's still way better than nothing.

As for OTA I already tried. there's a mountain behind my house. I can't reach. I'm in Hot Springs. IN Phoenix I get over 40 HD channels OTA. I have a USB card with HD tuner and get everything you can imagine.

ugh the purple cards..... Dish sent BOTH sets to me in Phoenix. So none of them came here. I called and told them so they said not to send them, they'd send new ones. That was over a month ago

LOS for 77W from Little Rock is more SE than SW (like your other Dish, for 110/119/129).

I am in the same boat as you - I watch mostly Fox and NBC. The folks who own KLRT and KARK really need to make a deal with E* soon.
