King quest and local channels

If there's an AT&T or Direct TV retailer near your new location, try using that as an address when you move service. I have an AT&T account, and I just used the retailer's address as my address. They were fine with that.

King Service compatibility: DIRECTV SD
Compatible with the following DIRECTV receivers:
D10, D11, D12; H & HR receivers under 25 (Example: H24)

Reno Locals are on the 99.2 DTV satellite.
Link for Reno Locals

The 99.2 is a SWM satellite that your King is not capable or receiving.

You will need to trade that King in for a Winegard Trav'ler that receives the 99/101/103 then the locals will be available to you.

Where you are has to have a address, that is the one u use

DirecTV has "spot beams". I think 100 mile radius from where your "address" is. Usually the nearest large city. (Would think when you originally set up your DirecTV you had to give them some kind of address......) I mean, where is your billing address ?

Go outside the spot beam, you lose the local networks. That doesn't matter to me, as I run everything thru a passive switchbox (ANT,CABLE, SAT) when I am, say in Phoenix, I put up the batwing, and push the "ANT" button...get the locals there. Then, back to SAT by pushing the SAT button.

Others, if you read, even research the topic, here at the forum, they call DirecTV and make whatever changes they want.

I don't have another address to change my service to.

don't know how DTV works but with Dish we just call tech suuport and change our service address to get the locals.
