Channel 13 KCOP HD, Channel 22 KWHY HD, Channel 28 KCET HD, Channel 50 KOCE HD, Channel 52 KVEA HD. These Channels are all available in HD in the L.A. Market.
I wish the same thing. I have a deep fringe antenna atop a 60' tower and can even get Shreveport when I turn the rotor in that direction. I live about 40 miles north of Tyler and have no trouble getting HD-OTA. I recently subscribed to locals just so I could have a program guide but to tell you the truth, I don't think we will ever get HD on Dish out here. The market is just too small.
HD channels to 93 percent of the Population.
Not if you live in Rochester NY, Rochester is the 73rd largest Market in the US, but the third largest City in New York State. No Local HD, not even on Dish Networks Radar.
I'd love to get Local HD channels from satellite, in the meantime I felt the need to upgrade my 622 to a 722k so I could record more than one Local HD feed. Rochester's Local SD channels were added very early when Dish decided to move to offer local into local service, so where are Rochesters HD channels.
One other comment, why doesn't Dish offer CW HD for those markets that either don't have a local CW Affiliate, or in my case no local OTA CW HD feed (Cable only in Rochester).

There is no "big enough for DirecTV" or vis-versa. Both companies will take the list of markets by size and start with the biggest and begin negotiations. If market # "x" has two stations of the four total asking for outrageous deals, why shouldn't D* or E* move on to the next market ? Should they keep negotiating until a deal is reached ? What if the next market on the list has all 3-4 stations willing to sign ?Funny thing is, the market must be big enough for Direct. ARRRGGGHHH!!!
