Welcome to the site 
Another spot you might want to browse thru to aquainte yourself a little more is the Glossary in the dark Blue area toward the top of the page.
Not trying to be a smart a** , just wanted to let you know that it is there.

Jimbo | thanks! i actually hadnt noticed it there... i am a daily user of a car forum and some of the people there could very much benefit from a glossary section
i had googled "HD LIL" but the only results i got were people using the phrase in threads on this forum
completely off-topic but why is Dish Network abbreviated E* ?

| Not really off topic...
E* = Echostar (Dish Network)
D* = DirecTV
V* = Voom
C* = Comcast
TWC = Time Warner Cable
and there may be some others of interest, but that should get you going. |

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but for those who live in NEPA rumor has it that we will finally get WBRE and WYOU in HD on Friday.
Keep your fingers crossed!

Back to locals: Toledo planned for September.
"Although I do not have a*hard date, we expect to light up Toledo in September."
There you go Jimbo!

Are there any definitive dates for anything after August? I know Dayton, Ohio is listed for October, but I've seen nothing specific about dates.
