How to Get Local Channels From the Dish Network
For only $5 per month, you can have your local channels added to your satellite TV programming package. You may ask why you need to pay extra for something that was previously free. First of all, when you consider that many Dish Network dealers are offering free upgrades such as HDTV receivers and digital video recorders to programming packages, the extra charge for local channels is easily offset. With the increasing amount of local channels offering HDTV programming, that makes even more sense.
Finally, you have to compare the amount of programming that your dollar buys with the Dish Network, and compare it to your local cable companies. You'll find that even with the extra monthly charge for local channels, you're still saving money and getting more programming.
With the Dish Network, you can get all of your favorite local channels, including CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, PBS, UPN and the WB. Look at the website for All American Dish, one of the leading Dish Network retailers in the US, to see if local channels are available in your viewing area.
