What local channels were you receiving while in AZ and what local channels are you now receiving in West TX?
The VIP211K also has a built in OTA TV input and these will appear in the satellite guide just as if they were satellite channels. What are the actual local TV channels numbers you are seeing 2, 4, 7 or 2.1, 4.1, 7.1?
No, I have not tried connecting the OTA antenna, so channels have been local from Dish.
E.g., @ 7PM, I tune in KFXV, 002-00, Fox network and see Bones.
Sorry, I don't recall channel numbers or call letters in Quartzsite, Apache Junction, Demming, Fort Davis, or Zapata while enroute to Weslaco. I do recall that the numbers were all 002-00 to 023-00 and the networks were ABC, CBS, ....
While in Zapata we had problems and when we called we learned that someone had erroneously set our 'home' as Phoenix. That was the first time we heard the term 'On-the-road'. That is when our location code was reset. We have had no problems in Weslaco.
In two weeks we will be in Corpus Christi and surely will have new 'locals'.
We are still new to this and don't know all the lingo.
