_IF_ the "local" channels on dish are really local. Here, only the
Wichita/Amarillo city feed is uplink feed; the translators that are
the local weather feeds aren't available except OTA.

So, since Wichita doesn't go to severe weather coverage except for
events in their local area, it's of no use whatsoever for that
purpose.

Which is my biggest complaint with the whole folderol of replacing
something that works just fine w/ what may (or then again, may not)...
