Likewise, but I'm a little disappointed that we don't have NBC HD. Oddly, there's a duplicate NBC channel now, but it's just the SD feed. Maybe we'll be getting it later, or is that just the feed coming from the new sat?

You know, i didn't even notice that. I just assumed that whatever was on at the time wasn't an HD program....but now that you say that, in looking ahead, they don't seem to have any HD programs on the schedule...is it just me, or does the picture look sharper though?

I can say that the picture on ABC (Ch. 6) looked really nice this morning during Good Morning America....
