I must admit, I am a community junkie. I am also a TV lover. To this end, I want to look into satellite TV. I have heard that there are two major competitors in the satellite TV field, Dish Network vs Direct TV. So I guess I need information that relates to how satellite TV gives out local channels. I really need to know why my community is doing as I like to take part in things that happen around the area. I love to watch the local news and I would need these channels if I come over to satellite TV. Any info is much appreciated.
