My father-in-law is considering getting Dish Network for his RV, since picking up locals in the campsites he typically stays at have marginal or non-existent analog reception (and expected to be potentially worse for DTV locals). I advised that he consider Dish Network, because his home is just outside Jackson, MS and the spotbeam for Jackson SD locals covers almost all of Mississippi and a large portion of Alabama.
Two questions:
1. Am I right in assuming that the SD locals for Jackson, MS on the 110 satellite will be untouched for at least a few years? It would be too complex to have my father in law setup a Dish 500 for regular channels and the 61.5 Dish 300 for the HD locals.
2. On the All-American Direct site where distant locals for an RV receiver can be ordered, there is a note that RV locals may disappear due to current legislation. I searched on RV distant networks, but don't see any current updates on this subject. Would he continue to have the RV locals waiver as an option after the digital transition?
