You lose your LOCAL channels when you are out of the local area. DirecTV spot beams the local channels to your zip code.

I'm not sure that this cluster of 6 satellites can direct their broadcast footprint to such a localized area. In my line of work we have systems that strive to jam satellite signals but its be reasonable to assume that there are not enough emitters to focus the RF energy to specific broadcast areas.
