BEV and DN have different ideas of "local". With BEV, it's more like "regional", but the advantages of time-shifted programming are all still there. A particular network program might be broadcast from Halifax, Toronto, Regina, and Vancouver -- all at different times.
DN has "real" locals -- especially useful if you want to see which muffler shop in your town is having a sale, or you like the local news coverage. Network affiliates and independents in dozens of cities are represented, but of course they are all US cities. All you do is pick the closest one to your location, or the one(s) that are relayed into your area. I use Detroit (roughly 7 channels); you might prefer Buffalo. Regardless of which you choose, you still get to take advantage of the cross-country time offsets from other cities.
