HD Locals?

Misbehaving · Dec 29, 2006

I live in Arkansas and I am considering signing up for DISH. If I sign up for their HD package and get the local channels, does that mean the local channels will be in HD also? I am confused about this. Appreciate any help I can get?

Not likely, they are only available in the larger markets at this time.

Go to their website and click on Programming and then Locals. Put in your address and it will bring up local channels that you can get from Dish under the heading "Local channels currently available in this package:". Only channels with a -DT (example: WKYC-DT) after them will be HD from Dish. If there are no -DT stations on that section, you will not receive HD locals from Dish. There is a section below that section under the heading "Local HD channels currently available with an Over the Air Antenna:" that shows digital channels you MAY be able to pick up with an antenna. You could attch the antenna to your HD DVR and record from those channels as well.

Do you have a source for information about when local HD channels will be available from Dish? Specifically, Austin?

BobaBird · Dec 30, 2006

It was planned for 2006 along with 19 others that aren't going to make it. Nothing for AR has been announced.
