| The DTV transition will not affect satellite TV subscribers who receive their local TV stations through their satellite dishes. Satellite TV service is a digital service and all satellite subscribers must have a set-top box connected to their TVs to receive the satellite-delivered programming. As a result, there should be no change in service for satellite subscribers unless the local TV stations are not provided by the satellite carrier. If you subscribe to a satellite TV service, you should check with your provider to find out if you receive a local TV station package through your satellite dish. |

My DirecTV is affected since the receiver is not HD with bars squenching the picture. Now, there are 2nd bars since analog has been turned back on. VERY UPSET! Posted by: Liz Location: West Va I have satellite & get my local channel when I turn the Satelite box OFF. I have hooked up my converter box, and now receive the PBS channels very nicely but have LOST my local channel. I have scanned several times and still have not been able to pick it up. I thought that I would automatically get it when I hooked up the box. Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong. The local channel used to be Channel 3 and I have tried using both Ch 3 & 4 when setting up the converter but to no avail. Please help -- anyone!
