Side not about dish (Partially applies to DirecTV as well)
NETWORK programming (ABC, NBC, CBS and so on) is provided via your local stations, Dish (And Direc) are reauired to carry all "A" level stations (not sure about b and c, and the letters refer to signal strength) if your house is in the "Z" band (no signal, no way, no how) then you quaify for Distant Network Service .. which Dish is currently unable to offer. More on that later.
Else, the shows are "SPOT BEAMED" to your house (Think of a spot light shining on a map of the country where your house is.. Same thign exactly.)
If you drive out of the spot.. you will be in the dark (Unable to watch network TV).
Up till recently DISH offered All American Direct's DNS service, but AAD, decided to drop out of that market for some reason (I have no clue, or suspicions, not even speculation so do not ask)
The one "Suspicion" I do have.. is that DISH is looking for another 3rd party DNS provider.
