I live in CT (06611 zip code) and subscribe to DirecTV. I subscribe to local channels, have a 3-LNB dish, and have a "new" HD/DVR receiver. I am technically in the greater New York market. Why are MY9 and CW11 "blacked out" on my screen at all times? Thank you.

these channels :
If your not getting them I would call D* and ask them.
