| | In past announcements such as these, have there been subsequent announcements detailing which one are going to be offered on a specific date? Or, since I watch TV every day, just one day by the end of the year, I'll notice that they're in HD?

I'm more than a little disappointed to see Monterey, CA omitted from this latest list. I was hoping to dump the annoying OTA antenna this summer.

For those with HD-LIL and OTA integration already, how will the HD locals be shown in the guide? As it is, the SD locals are simply the channel number and the OTA HD channels are 2-1, 2-2, 4-1, 5-1, 5-2, 7-1, 7-2, 7-3, 24-1. Will the HD-LIL channels take the same name/number as the SD locals, or is there some appending of the name/number like the OTA feeds?

HD will default over SD. Any timers will need to be re-setup using the new channel number (even though it is the same channel number), becase you can still access the SD locals too. You can also set the system to show both SD & HD channels in the setup menu, then you would have two of each station.
