I live in arnold md. Ever since going with Direct TV i've been forced to use the Baltimore Locals and cannot get the Washington DC Locals. This is particularly frustrating since the baltimore locals do a fair amount of preempting National programming and almost always squash the Redskins when they are on the national feed. This was somewhat mitigated when they got a waiver for the CBS national feed but now they say they can no longer provide it.
Both Comcast and Verizon Fios deliver both feeds (DC, and Balt) to their subscribers.
I've been paying to get the comcast basic service to cover DC locals off of cable. Comcast has now made that HD only feeds and I don't have a cable card in my set.
I'm thinking maybe I should switch to Fios.
Why would it be legal for Comcast, and Verizon to provide both feeds while Direct TV can only provide 1.
Does anyone know of a way to get Direct TV to provide both? I prefer their service but if the can't deliver the programming I want due to legal restrictions it makes them much less attractive.
