Why isn't my local channel available in HD from D*?
Good question! It's probably because your 'local' TV channel is actually owned by a parent corporation. The more channels you own, the more leverage you can have in demanding large sums of money to be carried by a provider (D*). That or D* is trying to low-ball these companies. Either way, as a D* subscriber, you're caught in the middle. Complaining to local stations hasn't seemed to help, but maybe complaining to their parent company will get someone's attention. I've done a little research and though I'd at least provide some information on who to complain to besides D*.
