I can't get my local channels on directtv

Since no one has mentioned it, it's probably worth noting that there's another way to get the NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, PBS feeds on DirecTV if you don't care about the actual "local station" version of those feeds. For those who aren't aware of it, that service is called DNS (Distant Network Services) and it is used by many full-timers who aren't interested in the local news and weather which can easily be obtained from the internet. With DNS we get the NY City network channels for a cost of $15/mo.
This is not an option for folks who have a home in a city where local channels are available. It is primarily a full-timer option.
I also use DNS. I find that a lot of times I am in locations that you get nothing with OTA, or so few choices. In my home location I can only get ABC with over the air. I am not interested in PBS. So we always set up the sat when we stop. Only takes a few minutes.
