Direct TV says I need a multi-satellite system to receive local channels in my area. Are their specific receivers required for this or is it just the larger dish? I have nice receivers now with RF remotes that I don't want to replace unless necessary.
reply to miker3 Can you post the model number of your receiver? Unless the receiver is really old it will likely support multiple satellites. (i.e my receiver I bought in 2001 supports multiple satellites no problem)
If you want HD locals then you may need a new receiver and dish.
Either way, DirecTV will provide you a free or low cost upgrade + installation so that you can receive the locals you want. Any upgrade will require a new programming commitment. -- Mission Accomplished
