I would like to explain something about local channels to help you understand why some people are getting them and some people are not. If you get on your google machine and search the internet, you will find listing of the local channels that are on the 101 satellite and the locals that are on the 119 Satellite. It appears that most of the larger markets are one the 101 while smaller markets are on 119. So it would be very important for you to check ahead of time to see what satellite your locals are on. If you locals are on the 101 satellite, there is nothing you have to buy, if they are on the 119, you will need to buy the King UC1000 universal controller to get your locals. The UC1000 allows the dish to use both the 101 and 119 satellites. I hope this helps you understand the local programming and maybe you will not have to spend the hours of research I did before I bought the King Quest.
In addition to the locals of larger markets, the 101 satellite provides channels 100 thru 400 and 500 thru 800. This includes the premium movie channels such as HBO and Showtime. The 119 has the locals from smaller markets and channels in the 400's and some others. So if your like me, you will have no need for any of the channels in the 400's. So basically since my locals are on the 101 satellite, I have absolutely no need to have the ability to get the 119 satellite.
If you want to change you provider to Dish Network, you will need to get the UC1000. However, if you do go with Dish, you will also get all of their HD programming!
One of the main reason I chose the the King Quest is I now have the flexibility to change from DirecTV to the Dish Network if I ever choose to change my satellite providers.
I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase!

I tried customer service. All I could ever get was a recording that said they were getting a lot of calls (I bet so if this is how their equpment is) and it would be anywhere from 24 to 72 hours for a return call. Still waiting. I am so disappointed with this. I have wasted a lot of money I could have well used elsewhere. I am going back to my old metal dish and hope that some day I will be able to get some trouble shooting help and figure out what to do with this. It is not heavy enough to make a good anchor and it is a poor yard ornament. I would not waste your money on this. If things change I will update this review, but don't hold your breath the way things are going.
Took 2 days to talk with tech support. 5 minutes to fix issue.

Satellite is not Canadian Bell friendly!! Several attempts to get it working. No such luck! On hold for hour with King Pro only to be told them do not provide support to Canadian customers. If anyone has helpful hints please pass along. My advise - Do not purchase from Amazon go directly to local supplier for better service.
