Joe-
You were misinformed by the sales person. You have the same problem that I do with Dish Network. The satellite companies do a thing called "Spot Beaming" for the local stations. In my case, my locals come from Houston and I lose the Houston channels somewhere around 300 miles from Houston, to the north at the Texas/Oklahoma border, to the east around Lafayette, La. and to the west about 100 miles west of San Antonio.

It will not be YOUR locals, but you can have Direct set you up with an "East Coast Feed" out of New York and you will be able to receive the major networks-ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, or if you venture all the way to the West Coast, you can switch over and get the feeds from Los Angeles. I have read posts from some FTers and this is the option they prefer. Others, when setting up in an area for an extended time have the company give them the locals for the area they are in.
