I live in Tucson and we currently do not get HD Locals... a travesty I tell you. We are re 32nd largest city in America.

Is DirecTV planning on adding more HD locals on this new satellite (10) or do I have to wait for the launch of 11?

What are they planning on adding with this new 11 satellite?

City/DMA size has little to do with D* adding HD locals. It's all about retransmission agreements and $$$$. D10 won't be used exclusively for CONUS HD, some HD locals will be added. Hope yours is among those.

Eventually the goal is to cover at least the top 100 channels in HD. Do I have a timeline? No, sorry.
