Glenn, I am not able to get "local channels" on my Direct system. I do get the National alphabet stations after sending in a waiver, took about 6 weeks. I get east and west coast alphabet stations. That means LA and New York. I was told I could not get "local chanels" without having a perm residence. I enjoy the local channels where ever I am and that usually means hooking to local cable, if they have it. You may find it a little different.
I would get 100' of cable also for those shady locations. I have a dome AND a dish and only use the dish when I am under trees and can't see the southern sky.....
Good luck with the system.......
Phil
