and I do have what they consider "local" channels. I am in Michigan and live closer to Flint than Detroit, but can only get Detroit channels. I only prefer the Flint stations for things like weather. It depends on who they have a contract with to get "local" stations. I ended up getting a weather radio for severe weather as I do get paranoid about tornados!

I've had DirectV for years and love it. sm
AT&T recently offered me a free year of Dish, but I turned it down. I'm happy with DirecTV. Love my TiVO, too!

If you haven't signed yet wtih DirecTV or
you're still in your recission period, call Dish Network and see if they offer the local channels in your area. I have Dish and I know that it took them quite a few years to be able to offer me my local channels.
