How to Get Local Weather Channels on DirecTV

If you do not have a local channel to provide weather information, you may be able to access that information on The Weather Channel. Through an interactive feature provided by DirecTV on The Weather Channel, you can view your local five-day forecast and radar images. You will also receive "Local on the 8s," which provides the local weather information at times that end in eight, i.e. 1:08, 1:18 and 1:28.
