Local stations CBS and FOX

My local CBS and Fox feeds are a part of the money dispute. I would like to keep them in my programing  but add CBS and FOX feeds from somewhere else that are not a part of the dispute. Is that possible?

Sorry, It is not possible to add stations from other markets because of their contracts with those stations. I know for CBS if you are able to you could get  Paramount+ and stream until the dispute ends.  You could even try an over-the-air antenna which might be able to get you both your local CBS and FOX channels and possibly other channels that you do not have.

Unfortunately not. Per Federal regulations, DirecTV is only allowed to provide you locals from your Designated Market Area (DMA). This was heavily lobbied by the locals to Congress to keep this status quo.

This makes sure that viewing of local sports teams and local advertisements stay to their intended areas.
