I love WSLS Channel 10 news. Recently I switched satallite providers, from Direct TV to Dish Network. I went with Dish through Embarq, my telephone service provider, to save money each month. I was told by Dish that I would have local channels. When they installed the dish, I found out that my local channels are WFMY & WXII out of North Carolina. I contacted Dish Network and they said that I am on the line, therefore I cannot get WSLS or WDBJ because I live closer to Greensboro. This is absolutely not true. I wanted to cancel and return to Direct TV but was told that they would hold me to my contract and I would have to pay a cancellation fee, even though I was misinformed regarding my local channels. Can you help me? I have tried everything that I know to do. I miss my local news more than you can imagine. Sincerely, Bebe Goard
