major network satellite provider
Looking for provider for ABC NBC CBS FOX for Directv when traveling. Used to use Sabongo All American Direct 3 years ago for Dish TV, but understand no longer available.

Jim, please can I have a bit more of a complete answer?
As our home zip code is northern Illinois, we get Chicago locals, 2 abc,5 nbc,7 cbs, 9 wgn, and 32 fox.
They are on a spotbeam, and if we are more than 200 miles from Chicago, they do not work. 9 (wgn) and 32 (fox) even vanish from the channel guide. 2,5,&7 say we are out of our local area.
If I call dish and give them a different zip code, they authorize the local channels for that zip code. NOT Chicago channels, different #'s, different newsguys, different channels. I did this when we went to Kentucky, and got Louisville locals.
I recently discovered wgn up in the 200's somewhere, appears to be a national version, there was no news listed in the guide... perhaps a national version?
Other network channels were lists there, but I haven't fully explored it.
We're currently struggling with only partial reception on 119 and no other sats, due to trees.
