_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.

Yeah, my satellite "local" channels come from 80 miles away, but if I
could get them OTA, they would still come from 80 miles away. However,
there is a NOAA station line of sight from my house. Get a weather
radio with a weather alert signal, and you will never miss a tornado
warning again. I picked mine up at Radio Shack about 30 years ago.
