The only time I've had this problem is when I am aimed at the wrong satellite (It's happened to me twice). A little more fumbling around and I'll find the correct satellite and get all my channels including the local channels.

But since moving over to Dish Network we have not ventured far (less than a couple hundred miles) so we have not confirmed if we'll lose the local channels if we venture further. When we were on DirecTV and was over 400 to 500 miles away I had no problems with local channels either. I know this because DW would have killed me if she could watch DWTS and we've been able to see that show in the rig. But I've got to think about it now because I don't remember where we were when this happened (close by or far away).

I will agree that Dish Network is way worse for manual aiming than DirecTV, but I'm getting real good because of it.
