Satellite with National Channels
I am looking at installing a roof dish. I understand that to get NBC, CBS, ABC, i need to get DNS services and sign an affidavit stating it is being used in a motorhome, etc. I called Dish networks ...

Dish "could" still offer DNS if they chose to do so. They simply choose not to. Mobile waivers (truckers, boaters and RVers) are all eligible from both Dish and DirecTV. Dish discontinued DNS by choice.
From what I heard, dish lost a court case that forced them to stop offering DNS. They then contracted with a third party vendor which we used one year to provide the service. That vendor is no longer in business. I even wrote my congressman about dish not being able to offer it direct because at the time we had just stopped full timing and hated to see the service go and that is what I was told. What they do now is not as convenient, but works.
Dish "did their time", and could now offer DNS themselves if they chose to do so. Obviously they have not. I find changing locals to be a very minor inconvenience, and we do like having the local news available for the area we're in. Particularly in locations where OTA reception is poor.
Thx for the clarification. Still wish they would start offering it again.
