[Satelliteracer]

HD PBS tomorrow for those DMAs

[RAD]

Thanks for the update.

[Casey21]

Is there some reason this has not been launched in Denver?

I don't know, but Denver is getting channel 20 in HD tomorrow.

[CindyJ]

Woohoo!!! Thanks for the heads up Satelliteracer! :)

[apferrando]

Man... any WNED PBS love out of Buffalo? Maybe some CW or MyTV? :(

[ccr1958]

thanks for the info, satracer

[VandyCWG]

Maybe Nashville, TN will get PBS HD one day here soon....

(Maybe CW HD too, but I might be dreaming)

[Piratefan98]

Nice to see the continued progress on the PBS HD front.

Looking forward to having it here in the Harrisburg PA DMA (WITF).

Nothing on a national level :nono::whatdidid?

[sat4r]

Finally HD service on our local PBS out of BIG D

[hasan]

Thanks for the heads up! It will be a welcome addition here in the Des Moines DMA, even though I get a perfectly good signal OTA from 11-1, 11-2, 11-3. I expect all we will see is 11-1 (even though -2 and -3 have totally different programming). Obviously, the main channel is what is really important as far as I am concerned.

[spartanstew]

Cool. I don't really watch anything on PBS, but the odds just went up.

[mhaines1]

Any word on Washington, DC?

[gaddad129]

What about Philadelphia PBS in HD?

[LameLefty]

As always, thanks for the updates Satelliteracer!

[nuzzy]

Still no Boston??? What's up with that?

[dbsdave]

Still no Boston??? What's up with that?

It truly is ridiculous. Considering, the importance of boston to pbs as a whole, I am tempted to say directv should be so ashamed that they should not launch anymore markets before they resolve to have this market, but I know that wouldn't be fair to the rest of you.

[dhhaines]

Bummer still no Philadelphia. Hopefully next time.

[ans2004]

any word on when pbs hd will be added in green bay, wisconsin satelliteracer?

[Rob]

Still no San Bernardino and Huntington Beach, CA; also KLCS 58.

[IRS]

Yeah, I keep checking. Maybe soon.

[bobvick1983]

Has anyone heard when Birmingham, AL might be getting PBS in HD?

[Stuart Sweet]

Folks, Now that the day has come, let's reserve this thread for those people who wish to report that their PBS affiliates are live. Questions and comments about other PBS affiliates can be made in the "More HD in 2009" thread.

[sat4r]

WOW it is working thanks "D"

Maybe there could be a separate "New PBS Locals in 2009", rather than burying it in the More HD in 2009 thread?

PBS-HD (Ch 11) is up in the Des Moines DMA. There is no HD content until about 45 minutes from now, but the channel is present. I'll report on video quality when I see some HD.

[saturk]

Man... any WNED PBS love out of Buffalo? Maybe some CW or MyTV? :(

Ya, I need me some Supernatural in HD

[ccr1958]

PBS KERA13 is up & running in 1080i in the DFW texas area

[Casey21]

I don't know, but Denver is getting channel 20 in HD tomorrow.

Great. Thanks for the info. Satelliteracer! :)
p.s. to all - not complaining on PBS - just wondering. I certainly feel for the folks still waiting for their locals to be HD - hopefully they'll all have them soon...

[litzdog911]

Still no PBS joy for Seattle :(

[the_batman]

Is there a schedule posted so one can see when their area is slated for PBS HD? (Raleigh, NC)

[ahearst]

Any upcoming news for San Antonio?

[ahintz]

Yea! I can finally retire my Silver Sensor antenna. Thanks for the update!

[Bowtaz3]

I'm hoping we get CW, and mynetwork in HD soon too.

[BJM]

I noticed that I had to manually turn on 6 KVIE (Sacramento), the HD feed, in my favorites. Why is that? Also, of course, had to migrate my to do lists / recurring recordings manually. If I wasn't reading this board, how would I ever know of "new" channels or feeds?

[bonscott87]

PBS (channel 35) is up in HD in Grand Rapids DMA when I checked last night.

[Twill812]

Great. Thanks for the info. Satelliteracer! :)

:feelbette:cuttle: Thanks for thinking about those DMA's without local HD & PBS.

[scottchez]

Why did they not turn on the Des Moines HD PBS for the Western Iowa DMA? Is the same channel repeated to about 5 stations all over Iowa, everyone should be able to get even if your not in the Des Moinnes DMA.

[Canis Lupus]

There really is some pretty awesome stuff on PBS - but without HD it's not the same :lol:

Cool. I don't really watch anything on PBS, but the odds just went up.

[djfred49]

Anything on when PBS HD:listening may be up in Connecticut?

[Old_Style]

scottchez.... I was wondering the same thing. They turned on HD for the main DesMoines PBS (KDIN 11) but did not turn it on for the repeater stations throughout the state. So, it looks like you have to be in the DesMoines DMA to get the HD version of "Iowa Public Television". Those in the neighboring DMAs of Sioux City, Cedar Rapids, Quad Cities, and Omaha/Council Bluffs are stuck with the SD version of "Iowa Public Television". (Although the Omaha/Council Bluffs DMA already gets an HD version of PBS from KYNE 26 which is part of Nebraska Educational Telecommunications (NET))

On yeah it is on.

[deuce01]

So, for those of you that have PBS in HD, do you get the sub channels or just the main one? Most of the PBS I watch are on the subs (PBS Kids, Austin City Limits, etc.) so if they only give the main channel then it looks like I'll still need OTA when they light up PBS HD here in Greensboro.

No. DirecTV (or Dish) do not carry any subchannels.

[SLICK1938]

I am obviously missing something here. I am in zip 92277, north of Palm Springs and receive ALL of the LA locals including the PBS Channel,KCETHD. At least that's what their logo on the screen indicates. The Directv guide lists the channel as LA 28. I have yet to see any HD programming. Regular programming has the black bars on the sides, and sometimes top and bottom. Any suggestions?

[lwilli201]

Swanni finally announced these new PBS HD stations on Directv and used DBSTalk.com as a source. :)

Better late then never.
