Yes, Fox broadcasts in HD here in New Orleans. All of the four national networks are in HD here. Unfortunately the only carrier in the New Orleans market that does not have the locals in HD is Dish. Hopefully soon.

OH, so NONE of my locals will be in HD???? :eek2: I only have the hd package (turbogold) so does that mean my locals are non existing since I only get hd feeds?

I hate to ask but does D* have the locals in Nawlins in hd?

You should get the sd nola locals with the dish turbo package.

Yes Directv has the new orleans locals in hd. They have had them for about a year now. Dish had the nola hd locals scheduled for december 2006:mad: :mad:
Still waiting.
2 people in my neighborhood alone have swapped from dish to directv because of the hd locals. Dish has really dropped the ball in new orleans.
You will have to hook up an antenna to your dish box to get the locals in hd.
I guess my big concern is: will I be able to watch a fox hd (abc, nbc, cbs too) broadcast like "24" on another fox hd feed, not on my locals? I sure hope so...I am not really concerned about my local news in HD, but rather the shows I am use to watching on those channels, when we had cable on the Northshore of N.O. ,it was locals for those shows or nothing, now I hope I have a backup to watch all of my network fav shows in HD....?
Absolutely NOT ! Dish is barred by permenant injunction from offering distant networks ever again.

You get your locals, or you can put up an OTA antenna and get your locals / HD Locals, or if Dish is offering - your HD Locals from Dish.

Where are you at in new orleans? You can get all ota.
Depending how far you are , you might only need rabbit ears, you might need outside/attic antenna.

And if you have a DVR like the 622, it's even handier because you can record two shows while watching one. Also, you'll have less compression.

Go to antennaweb.org or tvfool.com and put in your address. It will give you a good idea of what kind of antenna you need to get the OTA HD.

BTW, can you go to Parkway Bakery and fedex me a roast beef poboy dressed?! :)
We just recently moved from Slidell after a 35 year stay to "New Chalmette" (Picayune, MS) since the Slidell area is the new "Nawlins East!"...:mad:

Looks like Jackson has locals in HD w/dish so I may see if I can switch there...? Born and raised in nawlins but I gotta say, their is nothing there for me any longer, it will never change, ever. And I still work in the area too.

I have not been there in years, in fact, last time I went anywhere around there was when I rode in Endymion for 10 years, the buses would take us from the dome to the city park staging area the day of the parade in the morning, we used to try and bribe our drivers to stop off for just that reason, :D but w/police escorts, that was a lil hard to do. I really cant imagine they are open again, but who knows. Only place in the world where they would put the mayo on your sandwich with a paint stirring (stick like from home depot) paddle! :lol:

I was born and raised in 'nawlins as well. The Mid-City parade used to start in my front yard on S. St. Patrick St. Now my brother and sister live in........Covington! :)

Good luck with your HDs. I had to resort to some minor deception to get all four major networks but I gots to have my sports in HD!! :sure:

Not sure if you are in the spotbeam for jackson locals, plus they are on the 61.5 sat. Do you have a dish pointing to 61.5?
Birmingham, al have the major 4 in hd, plus they are doable in the new orleans area on 119 sat, tp9 i believe which you probably receive. Check your signal strength on 119/tp9

As for the grounding, call your installer if he left his number or E* if he did not, the job has a ninety day warranty. As for out of market locals you will have to change your service address, mods really don't like us to talk about it in here but, use the forum search box and you can find some threads that will help you learn how to do this.
