As you can see, nobody is coming here yet for news and gossip about DirecTV in Hawaii. But you'll find some info in the AVSforum Hawaii HD thread (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=329826). There is a rumor that KHNL will go HD on DirecTV and Dish in connection with the Jan. 15 digital transition.

I hope that someone at DirecTV realizes that Honolulu is still not getting the local NBC affiliate in HD. I just looked at the DirecTV website hoping to find news of plans for new HD local service for Honolulu, but applying the local filter to HD channels available, I see, among others, the following listed:

NBC - KHNL (13)
MYTV - KFVE (5)

It's not true, though. They are still in SD here on DirecTV (though they are HD over the air, on cable, and on Dish).

Now, at long last, DirecTV is carrying the NBC Hawaii affiliate KHNL in HD.
