How do you tell which channels are HD LIL vs. SD LIL. I see WSB (Atlanta ABC) on sat 110 but I cannot tell if it is the HD channel or not.
Some LIL HDs now have numbers and slots assigned.
Boston and New York on 61.5
Los Angeles and Chicago on 129

HokieEngineer said:The new HD LIL channels that just appeared are all marked mpeg4. Even the NY and LA locals have mpeg4 service types (although the existing mpeg2 types are still up). At CES they said ALL HD LIL will be mpeg4, including NY and LA....

Plus OTA on most of these will no doubt look much better then Dish.goaliebob99 said:Note to all chicagoans who have an antenna and will get mpg4 LIL through dish. Leave the ant up as with it you will get WTTW (PBS) WGN9 (WB) and WPWR (upn) in HD! VIA OTA. Plus it will be a nifty back up for hd lil

You should distinguish them by true H.264 A4 type not the A6, like A4+bit1 i.e. pseudo H.264 .HokieEngineer said:The new HD LIL channels that just appeared are all marked mpeg4.

Good question.CJPC said:Are the Boston locals on 61.5 on a beam or not? Because if not, could this signify a MOVE to Echo X once its up? (would save a bit of $$$ on dish installs, if it did soley SD/HD LIL!
