Kudos to DirecTV for being ready to get the channels online so quickly. I'm guessing they knew they were getting very close to an agreement, so they'd been working to get everything done engineering-wise. I don't care too much about the MyTV content, so I don't care that they haven't put that one up yet here in CT.

Thanks for the confirmation, it looked a lot better to me this morning but since it wasn't an HD program I wasn't positive. I so we'll see the Basketball Game tonight in HD!

Cool... 
I guess I left too early because at 5:00 it was a rather fuzzy SD. It acutally looked worse than usual.
Maybe that had something to do with the HD version comming up.?

I'd say that the channels have already begun to appear deserves a headline.
Congrats to the folks in LIN markets across the country!!!

Looks like Green Bay is not so lucky. I'm not seeing WLUK DT showing up.

If you have a custom guide list and if you don't have hide SD duplicates checked you might not see the new channel.

I turned off "Hide SD Duplicates", and I've got the guide set to show all channels. I've rebooted my HR20 twice, and I called DirecTV and had them re-authorize. No dice! WLUK Fox11 in Green Bay is NOT amongst the new LIN channels going live today. |

From checking the local channel lookup page at directv.com, it seems that the only "Big Four" LIN station not on today is WLUK in Green Bay. No CW or MyNetwork stations were turned on today.
I guess you could say that Green Bay is still out of LUK!

Will Portland ever get CBS in HD? I would like to say I'm surprised we missed this boat, but then again...

I assumed that for DMAs where D* already offered the non-LIN HD locals that there wouldn't be too much work to be done to add the LIN signals once the deal was reached. The D* engineers must have just been waiting for legal to give them the OK to flip the switch. This ought to really fill out the HD local listings chart that Newshawk does.
Obviously it seems there may be some technical difficulties with Green Bay unfortunately which will hopefully get fixed soon.

Not soon enough for some of us. I was REALLY hoping this was happening today for WLUK. I'm moving within the next week, and I was hoping to not have to set up an antenna at my new house. |

I feel your pain. I hope the issue gets resolved sooner rather than later for you. At least the Packers aren't on this Sunday!
Do you have a contact at WLUK who can shed some light on why they're not up?

No WWLP yet
Spoke to a rep at Directv, inquiring about WWLP, and he basically had no clue. Typical blanket-statement about "HD channels in your local area" speech.
I left a msg for one guy at WWLP, but not really expecting a return call.

As already mentioned, KXAN in Austin (NBC) is live in HD now. KNVA (CW) and KBVO are not yet. My assumption is that these are being turned on in some prioritized order with larger DMAs and major networks at the top of the list.
