Local Channels on DirecTV
We are in FL for the winter from MI and our local MI channels are blacked out. Is there a way to get the local FL area channels here in FL?

Method 3: Close out the HOME account, and move all the receivers to an RV account, Subscribe to DISTANT NETWORK SERVICE. Of course, Direc may not let you do that either. I know of no one who has tried,, DNS gets you either NYC/Atlantic City or LA stations.
This is exactly what we have done. Only problem we've experienced is we have the West Coast feed and spent the past year on the EAST coast! All DW's fav shows start at 11PM!...DTV said they couldn't switch the feed from West to East without redoing everything...I was all for it but DW said forget it....guess which way we went....:B:B....Dennis
It's my understanding that DTV decides if you will get the eastern or western DNS feeds based on the billing address for your account. We are full-timers and use a mail service in eastern SD which is in the Central Time region so we get the eastern feed. People we know using a mail service in western SD (Mountain Time) get the western feed.
