Not sure why they don't add HD to the local HDs, they haven't in any market that I know of.

What may help you, other than favorites lists, is that the HD will always be on top (at least as far as I know).

I'm in the Norfolk-Newport News region and am eager to get the HD local channels here. I get them all fine over the air, but if I want to record on my DVR it, of course, is in SD.
