How to Get Different Local Channels on Dish Network
- 1). Contact Dish Network. You need to find out if they will provide your local channels. If they provide your local channels you can't apply for different local channels from another area. In this case you can only sign up for your own local channels.
- 2). Apply for a waiver. If you have local channels but can't get them you will have to apply for a waiver to get different local channels from another region. The waivers however, are almost always denied. You will have to apply several times.
- 3). Call Dish Network back often to check on the status of your waiver. You may still never get a waiver. Your best chance is if one of your network affiliated local station is too far away to be considered local to you. In this case you can sign up for different network carriers that are local to other regions.
- 4). Contact All American Direct. They work with Dish Network to provide other regional channels. If you do get permission to have different local channels, they will provide the service to get these channels. They will provide the equivalent network channels, such as ABC and CBS that are local to other areas.
