East coast feed

I live in California and I work in the restaurant industry. Why do I have to watch the east coast feed where 90% of programming is infomercials by the time I get home from work because the receiver thinks its 4 am? Is there any way to change this on my end?

Hi,

 

I see your request was ignored. I live in Do Cal and WANT to have access to the East Coast Feeds, but they refuse to provide them.

Argh.

Though no response to the origional poster was unfortunate, that post was 7 years ago, you are a bit late.

 

Per FCC regulations Directv is required to provide you the locals for the address where your service is installed. California is definatiely not an East Coast address.

 

If you live at a rare outreach address that is not considered in any local viewing market, you can call Directv and get the info to submit a waiver request to get any approved East/West Coast feeds. That is refered to as Distant Network Services (DNS). If you live in such an area in California, and got approved, you would get West Coast feeds naturally.
