It's easy to find promotional pricing for Dish all over the web. The question is what will the monthly prices be after the promotion is done.
All packages include local channels. Effective 6/3/2010 everyone pays for locals. They are available in all markets except there are a just a couple of stations (I know about you in MD) where a retransmission agreement has not been reached between one or two stations.
Also, thanks to the new STELA laws, if your DMA does not have all of the "big 4", your area qualifies as an area called "significantly viewed". Dish will import a station that you are missing from a neighboring DMA. Unfortunately, contract disputes will NOT get you the network from a neighboring DMA when the station is available in your DMA. All you can do is call the station and complain.
If you don't have all of your locals available in your area, you may be able to get the "Big 4" networks you are missing either OTA or through All American Direct (AAD). Go to channel 240 (SD) or 81 (HD) for more info on AAD. I say may because AAD can only give you the stations if you are out of what is called a grade B signal quality OTA. You need to be suburban at the very least.
