Here's a question that perhaps a Direct TV expert could answer. We live in the Phoenix area and use to camp on the beach in our RV near Ventura, at Emma Woods State Park, where I had trouble receiving the LA television stations on my Wineguard crank up antenna.
Somebody told me that you could change your service address to one in LA while you were there and the local programming would be fed to you on Direct TV. I tried this, but couldn't get the local progamming.
When I called Direct TV, they gave me some story about the programming in LA from Direct TV was "on a different satellite in Los Angeles and I would need to be able to receive that satellite's signal. That's why I was confused about there being just one satellite, 101W. At the time, and this was 10 years ago, I called MotoSat and they said I needed to upgrade to their newest reciever at the time, (about $1000) and I could then get a choice of two satellites. I never upgraded. (thank goodness, since they went out of biz) I appreciate all the expertise of folks on this forum.
