There is no list that I know of. Maybe someone will have a answer for you.
BTW I am moving this to the "DRIECTV Programming" forum.

Need HD locals here in the Lansing MI market soon. Getting tired of the wind and trees combining to mess up my signal. Hopefully everything is in place by October 1st.

I'm hoping that my relatives in New Mexico start getting HD locals soon. I'd really like them to jump to DirecTV and get an HDTV as they love both of them when they visit but can't justify the jump until they can get locals in HD. Being that they're both close to 80, I don't want them to fuss with trying to get OTA (didn't antennas on towers and rotors go out in the 60s or70s?) or trying to get the local stations to give them waivers (if they even would). In addition to the "big" networks, my mother-in-law would love to get Discovery, Science Channel, Animal Planet, HD Theater and ideally a PBS station in HD. Her husband would be happy with Fox News HD. I keep telling them that it's coming soon but I wish I could tell them HOW soon!

I don't have local HD either. I'm tired of playing with my OTA to get good signal on one channel, just to have to change it for the next one...
Ditto for me, Crazy.. I've talked to enuf CSR's lately about this. I have to adjust my OTA for different channels too. I don't want to invest in a better antenna as I'm hoping we get our locals in HD before the new season starts. No one will give a specific date or even ballpark it. They tell me there's a list around somewhere with this info, but they can never locate it! I have my doubts.

Little Rock is like 57 DMA or maybe 58? Anyway if you have a OTA you can get all locals from the same area except CW which is towards Pine Bluff. CBS, ABC, NBC, and Fox are all located on Chenal Mountain.wbandit said:

This quote is from the thread regarding D-11 and the potential plans for added programming. My thoughts don't fit in that thread, they fit here, so that's why I'm quoting it in programming.
If D* adds more HBO premium channels (or any other premium channels) before I get my locals in HD, I'm going to be pi**ed. Royally. :grrr:

I don't really see why. Subscribers to the premium channels pay plenty for them.techdimwit said:
