I don't want to tell you guys how long we have had Direct TV but our old receiver cost $700. plus $85 for an "installation kit". We now have a roof mount crank up dish with a "magic satellite finder" on it. It works great. We put a duel LNB on it and ran the wires in the attic. (with a great deal of trouble) Used the awning rod to fish the wires from vent to vent until we got them where we wanted them. We are able to watch different programs on the two sets we have with us and now visible wires. As for local programs we get our local programs as long as we are in Oregon. Don't know how far North we get them as have not been to Washington in a while. We get them just East of Boise ID. and in Winnemmucca NV. They call it "spot tec." They can broadcast to a very limited area. We have friends from Colorado who get Denver stations in Mexico. They are with Dish network. WE get NY and CA. networks every where we go. There are some problems with the system. but when we were wintering in Mazatlan Direct saved our sanity. We had to use a 1.2 meter dish to get the signal. I got tired of watching football in Spanish.
