There's an area in the local channels section on directv that talks about neighboring locals. The way that it's explained makes it sound like in the future you can receive local channels from the next closest market to you along with your primary locals. I hope that is the case because I would like local channels from the bay area although technically i'm still in the bay area. I'm stuck with Sacramento locals.

Do you have an antenna?
Are those hills in your way?

Yeah but it's not multi directional

The term you are looking for is "significantly viewed" and it typically doesn't extend to markets as phyically far apart as Sackatomatos and San Fran. Looking at the Comcast lineup for Sacto, they don't carry the SF stations, so I wouldn't expect that DIRECTV will.

Check out www.antennaweb.org to see if you can receive them OTA.

Well it sounds like you don't care about Sacramento, so can't you point it "the other way"?
