*gulp* One HD channel counts as "HD local channels"?

I understand it's a small market, but there's a CBS (KVTV) in full power, too.

Maybe when dish said they are going to have HD locals in Columbus/Tupelo MS on July 1st, maybe they meant July 1st 2010 or 2011. Stupid me just assumed they was talking about 09.
