UT , the only way you can get east and west coast feeds is if you can't pick them up with an antenna , we can get ABC so that one is locked out by Direct tv , ( we got a better antenna and can sort of pick up a few different channels but that depends on the weather )
oh and one more note about installing a sat box your self , when you call direct tv to turn it on DO NOT , I repeat DONOT hang up untill you scan channels , regular and any special packages you are ordering (HBO , Skinamax ,Etc..., ) it is instantaniously done from direct tv hq and if you have to call back you have to wade thru all the voice mail dirrectorys and wait for a tech to pick up, etc...
i don't know how direct tv handels local games , i beleve the nfl or nhl may try and block them ?????though i do know that the local cable provider didn't reup witha network when a big Hogs game was comeing on, and didn't bother telling any body about it untill the day of the game ,, you should have seen all the empty satt boxes on the curb all that next week
