I'm wondering also how one might get both boxes hooked to a single TV? As I see it, you're probably paying around $6.99 to Dish for the locals that you do get without the one they don't carry for whatever reason, in adition to whatever package of other channels you would subscribe to. Apparently, I have the option of getting Dish at this place, they probably have it in the wire with the free 25 analog channels or something. Next year, how can I hook up a converter box and the Dish receiver both to the same input on my TV, since it only has one coax in? Can I just use a splitter and set one to channel 3 and the other to 4 to switch between them, since my TV has only one input? I find it odd to pay extra to add locals when cable always has them no matter what package you took.
