Many people have questions about how they will receive local channels when they
get their 18" satellite dish antenna. DISH Network offers three choices as to how to
get your local Networks.
1. Use a Traditional Off Air Antenna.
2. Sign up for DISH Network's Digital Local Networks service.
3. Sign up for Dish Nets.
1.
Traditional Off Air Antenna.
If you decide to use a traditional antenna like rabbit ears, a rooftop or attic antenna or
the newer generation omni directional antenna to receive your local network channels,
we've made it simple to switch between your DISH Network programming and your local
channels.
With the model 3700
, 4700 and 7200 receivers, you can connect a
variety of TV antennas to the DISH Network receiver and receive your local network
broadcasts. A simple TV/Video button on the remote control enables you to easily switch
between the programming on DISH Network and your local stations.
When you purchase our Model 5000 receiver and use a
traditional antenna, you get these advanced features available only on the Model 5000.
 Seamless
integration between your satellite TV receiver and TV.

When available, local TV listings for major networks will appear in your viewing
guide, just like satellite TV channels. |
