Local Stations on Satellite
TV
Taking advantage of
the free satellite tv deals does not mean that you will have to
miss out on your local stations that are provided through ABC,
NBC, CBS, PBS, Fox and others.
When satellite tv systems
first became available, the availability of local stations was
sparse. Public demand brought the issue to the forefront of the
satellite tv providers and they responded by gradually offering
more and more local stations to subscribers.
You can even get your
local stations in high definition. This is a feature that you
won't find prevalant in the cable television industry.
It sure beats rabbit
ears... Huh? Well, in the old days, before the satellite tv companies
were allowed to offer local stations, customers would subscribe
to a satellite tv service and also use rabbit ears or some other
type of antenna in order to get their local stations.
Keep in mind that not
all of the local stations are available in all areas. You'll need
to check for availability in your area when you sign up with Dish
Network or Directv. The satellite tv services make it simple for
you to check to see if local stations are available in your area.
In some cases you may
need to pay an extra fee in order to get your local stations.
The fee for this is generally somewhere around $5 per month.
