I no longer have Dish, but we had the same experience. We just simply used over-the-air for local stations. As far as "back home" news goes, our cell phones have app's for our local news stations. That keeps us informed about weather and mostly what's happening at home. But the local over-the-air is what we did.
FYI, we originally had Direct TV. They kept jacking up the prices till it became outrageous. We switched to Dish TV. They did the same thing after. After 2 (plus) years of constantly fighting to keep costs down, and finally their best offer was still too outrageous, we dropped them too. We are now just over-the-air antenna tv! Much happier now. And really ... (I can't believe I'm actually saying this)... who needs television when camping anyway! Paid-for-television and over-the-air television is really nothing but garbage: senseless reality shows, violence, and sex. And everything is just re-runs, and paid movie channels play about 5 movies a month and just keep repeating them. It's all mindless garbage in MY OPINION. For the price we were paying, we were not getting any benefit out of it.
