CBS 5-1 is on however 50-1 doesnt seem on or I am not receiving a good enough signal with the OTA

You'll have to ask Capital Broadcasting what happened. Funny though, I thought they were dedicated to making sure all of their viewing audience could get HD... hmm...

In letters to capitol last week they claim the DTV spotbeams can only cover 75% of the market. So getting the CBS and FOX local HD on the sat will be a long time coming since Capitol and DTV have been at odds on various things

But if Capitol can't even cover their entire market with an OTA HD signal, why are they complaining that 75% coverage by D* isn't good enough? That's a pot/kettle/black thing. I think the 75% coverage is an excuse and they have other reasons they won't sign an aggreement with D*. It's just not in their best interest to come out and say "We're not letting D* carry our HD signal because we're a bunch of greedy b******s."
