If I "move" to Atlanta, for example, and subscribe to ATL locals, will my programming guide show me what's on the OTA channels from my antenna in Kansas City?
 
When I (really) moved from Seattle to Corpus Christi, I set up my 622 at my parents house in El Paso for a few days and I received the local channel info for the El Paso stations, and the same thing happened when I got to Corpus Christi. Once I notified E*, the Seattle locals (on spot beam) went away and my local Corpus stations appeared as the -0 channels.

Some indications are that you have to have a dish that sees the satellite that your satellite-locals come from as the guide data for the OTA channels comes from the same satellite. For example, my dish points at 110/119/129. If I "move" to a city whose locals are off of 61.5, I won't get the guide data for those channels. I don't know this for a fact, but others have ran into this.
