There is no such thing as a "Boston" sat and a "CA" one. DirecTV uses 3 main satellites to handle all programming. The other sats handle international programming. You pull programming off the same satellite in Boston and in Cali. The problem he is experiencing is strictly a legality. DirecTV can not legally transmit out of market signals into a market that already has its own. Odds are good that you can get local programming from whatever local affiliate is in your area.
