DirecTV may only provide you the locals that are in your market. You can check www.directv.com/locals to see if perhaps your area has more than one local affiliate of CBS, but you are not allowed to get a CBS affiliate from any other market as is against Federal regulation.
The alternative is using a regular antenna on your TV to get the free broadcast, as well as any other channels in range. This may net you additional channels that DirecTV does not have, such "sub-channels".

I’ve been with Directv for nearly twenty years (since 2000) and have dealt with them pulling miscellaneous channels over the years; however, to pull a basic tv (NBC) Station from the air with no real notice is appalling. I WANT NBC BACK or I WILL CHANGE PROVIDERS. So much for longevity and being a loyal customer that pays on time. We just get screwed over and charged higher prices for less channels.

What about channel 51 WEIU. Some time ago you pulled this station off my package because of receiver relocation, then suddenly it was available again. This time initially you show you are having a problem with channels 23 and 55, then later you add Channel 3 and 49 to the unavailable list, and you just remove WEIU from the list with no warning. What gives? I appreciated the service that I received from Direct TV much more before AT& T became partners. I left Dish because of poor service, and now AT&T has caused Direct TV"s service to be lowered to Dishes poor level. Tom Evans
How did you get CBS back after a months time? We lost our local Channel 8 (NBC). What are the chances we will get it back? Perhaps we should consider another provider for our TV viewing.
