You DO NOT need a new dish and/or receiver!!! I just called my local DSS provider to ask. The above information is incorrect.

You will get the "local" channels in your area for an additional monthly fee. Same equipment as before. Remember, we all had the 3 networks before without any equipment changes? Your local TV station(s) will have the option (and why wouldn't they) to "feed" the sattellite their signal.

That's what I was told by the manager of GoldenSky Systems (DirecTV).
