here is my situation. I live in an area in Texas where you cannot get any channels off-air so you have to subscribe to cable or satellite. I currently subscribe to Directv but am only able to get locals from NY,CHI,LA or "a la carte" stations, the closest being Denver, Co. In order to get them...

I live in alpine, texas and am thinking about switching from directv to dish. What are the chances of getting local channels out of el paso, texas or dallas. I'm tired of having to watch LA or NY news. Would like something closer. I've read about the waiver. Do I have a ggod chance?
