Local Channels on DirecTV

It should be $15/month for E or W and $20/month for E and W.

I have them but I am grandfathered in from a time when that was the standard.

I was going to do that and then I got a Genie (HR44) instead. With the ability to record or watch 5 channels at the same time I find I no longer need the other DNS feed to avoid conflicts when scheduling recordings.

That would likely work for me unless I had only the W feed and was traveling in the E. I would never be able to watch my programming the same day it was broadcast but that's not a problem for some folks.

We have the eastern feed. We spent all spring/summer in the pacific time zone. Jay Leno came on at 8:30; even old farts like us could stay up to watch him!

Did I say anything about having the E feed and being in the W? Try to keep up Doc!
