Does anyone know of any Dish Network locals on a national feed (CONUS) from the west coast? I know about New York, Jacksonville and Ft. Wayne but I need something in a later time zone. I have checked the website that lists all the locals but I don’t know how to tell if they are CONUS or just spot beam. TIA for any help.

Sacramento.
This the current list I have. I've recently verified Bluefield, WV and Jacksonville, FL.
Thanks!!
Let us know what you find please.

What do I have to do to get one of the above CONUS locals? Start a chat session with Dish and change my service address to the town I want the CONUS locals for?
Don't just ask for a city. Find a campground in the area and use the address of the campground to change your Service Address. That is an obvious reason to be changing your Service Address.
Just asking for a city is an obvious "move" and against the law.
It worked for the New York one but we are in AB Canada and the east coast time is just not working out. Haven’t got to change to a west coast address yet because we are having Dish problems with our Travelr and couldn’t get locked on last night. Winegard pretty much blew us off this morning saying they won’t help us while we are in Canada or Alaska. So will start a different thread with problem to see if anyone has some ideas.

I use this DISH Locals website to help.
Zulu, that’s a nice website, thanks.
The Sacramento CONUS locals worked. We switched to them today.
Thanks for the list Dutch.

Thanks for the verification on NY and Sacramento, Rover! That's four markets we can count on at least...

Our Dish Network Trav'ler worked just fine as far north as the arctic circle, a few hundred miles north of Fairbanks. North of there we didn't get to test it, hills in the way.
I really wonder if the CONUS local channels have the same coverage as the rest of Dish Network channels, which work all the way into Alaska. If so then, with the Trav'ler, you could have USA TV all through western Canada and Alaska.

It's too bad that the only CONUS HD stations are on satellites we don't receive (77 & 61.5) except for Sacramento. We don't want Pacific time zone stations since prime time doesn't start until 8:00 PM, making it too late for us.

Mark, can we just change our Local Address to get these CONUS locals?

Change your "Service Address", not your "Billing Address", to the market you want to receive. I use the Dish chat system with a pre-written script to save time.
