DirecTV to add 44 HD local markets (Updated with Launch Schedule)

[jamieh1]

Directv has pushed my market to November. Greenville NC was in October on the original list.

I was getting all four major networks in HD here in Richmond Va via an OTA antenna when I got my "free HD upgrade"(which cost me $75.00 cause the tech had to relocate the new dish a few feet off the back of my house to a pole) and then the new rx that replaced my Hughes model didn't have an OTA connection. They really cheaped out on these new rx's IMO. I'd still rather have my HD locals OTA. This way I'd still have local severe weather info when the sat goes out.

The latest word is to "expect" the rest of the September list to go live next week, which is typically Thursday morning, but could also happen Wednesday.

Good news for everyone waiting on the Sept list, just in time for network premiers.

Is the Burlington/Plattsburg market still on the September list and also likely to come up this week?

Directv.com tv listing section as of today shows duplicates for Burlington VT DMA NBC,FOX but I don't see ABC/ CBS. I am bummed about CBS not being listed, can anyone confirm No CBS for Burlington VT DMA? I assume this tv listing is in advance of a launching Thursday!!
