Locals on DishTv $5.99 HELP???

[johnnytuinals]

Just bought a Dishtv receiver from Radio shack for $99 and wondering if a Directv LNB will work with a dishtv receiver?
I am from the Poconos and miss all the L.A. Calif Stations that i used to watch.
I am thinking of installing the LNB to my 10 foot satellite dish and hookingup the receiver and then call Dish up and tell them i have a House in L.A. Calif and i only want the Locals only for $5.99 a month in L.A. while i am on vacation.
I will tell them i only have a cell phone and i will give a address like 1000 Santa Monica Blvd L.A. Calif 90210 lol.
What do you all think?I called dish and they told me they had no problems with me getting Locals only for my vacation home.
Thanks for your time....Johnny

you can get locals but its 10.99, since there is a $5 (BS) fee for not having at least AT60

The address must be semi-legit. The one above probably wont work

Make sure all the locals you want are not on a spot beam, I know the ABC,NBC CBS and fox are national not sure about the others. That single LNB will only allow you to point to one satellite.

I know i would use maybe a apartment building address or maybe find a side street somewhere in L.A..
Should i say I am useing the L.A. address as a vacation place or Perminent house?
I remember not being able to get the Local stations from L.A. years ago on my 10 foot satellite dish.They would say i was too close to L.A. for some reason back in the early 90s.anyway i kept giving them differnt address further away and still that was no good untill i gave them a address of a Burger King off of rt 15 just off of the highway going towards las vegas and Calif Boader line and it worked lol....Thansk johnny

well i used a hotel from Santa Monica as my address and had no problem.
and hooked up the directv Lnb to the side of my 10 foot dish and i am getting a great pic.Directv wanted $41 a month with locals but i am glad DishTv are doing this for us.
the price is $10.99 a month still not a bad price just for the L.A. Locals.
Now lets see the police chases that can last for hours lol...Johnny

I am able to get Kabc,Kcbs,Knbc,KttvFox,Ktla
Problem is i would like to get Kcal and PBD that are on the same satellite at 110 Degrees,,Are they Spot Beamed???
I was also told that there are channels on 148 degress
Thought all the locals were on satellite at 119???Thanks Johnny

The EKB at DBStalk shows all the LA stations on 119. 3 stations from the fringes of LA are on 148. Other than the 5 you see, it looks like the rest (except for a couple of minor stations) are on spotbeams.
