ILikeBilly Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I am in the San Diego area. I am looking to swap 1 basic level (no DVR) DirecTV receiver with someone in the DC area. We would need to swap the receiver and the card. The hope is that I can then watch the local DC sports channels since the box will be associated with the DC viewing area. In return, you will receive a similar receiver and have access to the LA Lakers and other SoCal sports stuff. If it doesn't work, we could just swap boxes back. Let's talk!!!

logosteel Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Bummer - I thought someone would be interested in this idea. Would love to help you out, however stupid DTV gives me baltimore market and you would miss over half of the games. Thus why I had to pull teeth to get Superfan for cheap. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalSkins Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 The local stations are broadcast on spot beam sattelites for most markets. You would not get FOX from DC in LA, the signal is not there. You would, however not be blacked out of Comcast programming. Most LA locals are broadcast on national sattelites. You could get the signal for FOX, NBC and ABC for the LA markets in DC. Other option is to send someone a slingbox in the DC area and pay part of their internet fee and pay for the extra receiver charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
