....I am an old tightwad and hate paying more for what I am already paying for(local channels). Also I don't have the dish on my rig, so guessing that is not an issue, just fibbing a little..

Didn't find out until the our last trip that a our "big Brother", tax every thing government created a new "regulation" for viewing the national channels when away from our prime location. Of course, DTV benefits from the extra fees, so they haven't raised Cain over the issue. I got the paperwork, and felt that it just wasn't worth the hassle or the extra monthly expense and now I find out that I have to have an HD box. I just go on and hook up the local cable feed during set up. I'm not a big fan of the national channels or their news programs and hook to the cable primarily to catch local weather.
