Yeah, I don't get why Weatherplus isn't on satellite. :huh: Doesn't make sense if satellite companies can carry local channels, but not a local weatherplus.

Same reason they can't carry TWC's local forecast. There's no technology to do so yet.

DirecTV Has Local On the 8s for local ZIP code

You totally missed the point to Victors, and Garys post. That's not what they are refering to. Its a work around to real technology limitations.

But that's because of the receiver's action

I thought WeatherPlus was generated by the affiliate, not the provider. :unsure:
