Actually when referring to "local programing" with a satellite we are actually referring to the networks such as ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX and not necessarily the same local broadcasts you receive at home. Local programing allows you to pick up the local stations along with the networks in the area you are camping in. In my case, in order for me to get these LOCAL channels in Penna it only takes a phone call to DirectTV and have my Florida zip code changed to the local Reading, Penna. zip code. Once that change is made I will than pick up local Reading PA channels.
