Local Channel Availability
 There are 210 Designated Market Areas (DMA) in the United States. You can only receive local channels for the DMA in which you live (this id due to FCC rules).
Don't Live In A Local Channels Service Area?
Using an off-air antenna to access your local channels is easy! You just switch back and forth from your main programming to your local channels with the touch of a remote control button.
Qualifying for Non-Local Network Feeds
A limited number of Satellite customers may be eligible to receive non-local feeds of major broadcast networks. Eligibility is governed by federal law†, but some factors that may affect your eligibility include:
• You don't live near a metropolitan area
• You can't get any TV reception whatsoever
• You live more than 70 miles from TV station broadcast towers

Anunserved household is defined as one that receives less than a Grade B signal from local TV stations. SHVIA requires that we use the Individual Location Longley-Rice (ILLR) model to determine whether a customer resides in
an unserved household. |
