Does anyone know if Chattanooga, TN HD locals went live? I did not look before leaving for work.

I'm in the Augusta, GA zone, and I didn't have any locals this morning as of about 8 AM ET....

Anyone else from Augusta see anything yet?

When do you suppose Wilmington NC will be covered? Wilmington NC was one of the cities choosen in the first round of smaller markets getting local channels. Why now does it not matter anymore when this area is growning so strongly. Brunswick county is one of the top ten growing counties in the USA.

How in the world does Montgomery, AL - the Capital City in Alabama continue to not get locals with DirecTV. All the other major Alabama markets have locals! Unreal. Dish Network even has locals for Montgomery. Ugg.

Nope and the Bears/SF game stunk last night in SD. When oh When. Again IF they turn them on, CBS should not be there with no one at the affiliate hearing anything from D*

Is there a list that shows what DTV is working on? I'm curious where LEX, KY falls in.

Your DMA is one ahead of mine and yet several below us have gotten theirs. Doesn't make sense.

Hey guys....it looks like Augusta, GA may be happening this week as well. When i log onto the Directv website and look at my listings, it is now showing my locals in HD as well....so maybe Wednesday is the day! Any folks in Chatanooga seeing this also?
