I get locals over the air.. But then I refuse to pay the outragous fee for DirecTV or DISH.
This is not helpful to the OP. I have been in so many areas of the US where locals OTA are not available that even considering this as my ONLY option is completely unacceptable. If you want to ensure you will be able to get all of the Network options whenever and where ever you park, OTA is not your best choice.
As an aside, you can change your locals (Service Address) at no charge.....Outrageous.....or you can get DNS for $15/month....Outrageous?....Not for me....I pay $20/month for both Coasts! Think about that, $240/year?....You pay more for you coffee than that.
You're right. We were just on the Togwotee Pass in Wyoming camping and due to the trees, we couldn't get satellite with our roof mounted Winegard Trav'ler, so we put up our antenna hoping for OTA reception. With the booster on, we can get up to 20 channels sometimes, but nothing, zip, nada, at this place. Down came everything and out came the cards, books, and puzzles, which is ok with us.
