One thing that I recently found out about these streaming packages with "local" channels.... the local channels are the local channels for your IP address... where you are watching from... not necessarily your "home" locals.
So for example, let's say I sign up with one of these streaming services that includes locals while I am home in Vermont... when streaming from Vermont I get the Vermont locals... but when I am wintering in Sarasota and using the same streaming service, the locals would be Tampa local affiliates.
So I can't use the streaming service to watch my home area news or more importantly, New England Patriots football games playing on home CBS affiliate.
