I checked the link. They said no go as I am capable of receiving locals from Direct TV. But i'd rather have those channels.

Thier HD lineup for my local area consists of a whole 2 channels which is useless to me.
Since you appear to live in Portland, OR, I hate to say it but you do not qualify for the HD DNS stations as you have HD locals availble in your market. It doesn't matter if you get two or all four stations, once D* offers HD locals in your market you are no longer eligible to get the HD DNS stations. The best thing to do is to get on the two missing stations to settle with D* and get on board.

So ... does this mean that if I get the locals in SD in my market, but the only way to get HD locals is OTA (and the link shows I have "Strong" - Class A - signals), I might be eligible?
No, not eligible to automatically subscribe to the HD DNS channels, but you should be able to request waivers from your local stations to get the HD DNS. However, if you live in a Grade A signal area, then I can just about guarantee you that NO station manager or chief engineer will grant you a waiver.
