"if it's the FCC than why can I get the west coast (L.A.) locals along with my own locals (N.Y.) on dishnetwork ? It's been that way for me for 10+ years. I've gotten used to being able to see a primetime show 3 hours later if I missed it in my timezone. Something doesn't jive here.. FCC restrictions would affect both sat services, not just Directv."
You are "grandfathered" from a time that the laws were different. I also got east and west coast SD channels when I was with E*, even tho both E* and D* began offering my locals. I had the national feeds so long that I was allowed to keep them.
However, I am not up on the latest court decisions, you might end up losing them.
But let me get this straight--I'm on D*. If I get SD locals but NO HD locals, then I am eligible for the national HD feeds? Is this correct?
The folks at D* don't seem to understand this.
