IT's ALL LOCAL TV !!! -- WHO CARES! (Score 1)

This is just insane... This sat. will _only_ be broadcasting... or re-broadcasting Local Network Channels. They are already available with an antenna - there has to be some great irony in this... Would not it have been cheaper to simple purchase and install antenna's for every customer? DirectTV is a competent company... I have to assume they have done their marketing... Local channels direct to the sat. must be an important marketing point. I have an off air antenna with a DircectTV HD tuner... It works great, it's like the off air channels are part of the sat. channel line-up. My recepetion is awsome... I get multi-channels from almost every station in town, and even pick up some digital channels from out-lying towns I could _never_ pick up with analog reception. People, buy an antenna, buy a digital receiver, even if you dont have HD TV ... You'll get awsome reception.
