I just ordered the Chicago feeds. I'm an existing sub to the SD feeds. I was supposedly given the price of 13.33 for the HD feeds plus what my SD feeds cost.
She went to ask a super when that price came up on her computer,because she thought the price was 24.99.
I asked a couple of times if that was my per month price. I believe the 13.33 price was probably a prorated price so they can sync my HD and SD price when my SD feeds are charged around the 30th.
I will probably keep them any way since E* doesn't carry my local ABC in HD and my small market preempts network programming every time it thunders.

Better than what I signed up for. My cost is $16.66 a feed, but that's only for the first three months using the by 2 get 3 special.

I got the Chicago channels, but they did not give me ABC. My locals are not available via Dish or DirecTV. I can get ABC on my 2 HD receivers through OTA, but my other 5 TV's, I can not get ABC at all. I would have to buy a converter box for the other 5 TV's now JUST to get ABC.

I just bought one year of all the Chicago HD locals for $289.99 and three months of KNBC Los Angeles for $14.98.
Those rumors about only being able to subscribe to one city only appear to be not true.
The customer service rep from AAD said there was a lot of confusion about the whole process due to it being day one of HD. Hopefully it wasn't a mistake offering both E/W feeds.

Even tho i can get both Chicago and LA, I think Ill stick with LA only right now. Maybe during football season Ill add both. But I really don't know what NFL games the LA FOX & CBS will show, might be the same as San Francisco.

I was only able to order the West (LA) feed because they said the law indicated I could not have a set of channels from an earlier timezone. There was no way I could order the Chicago stations.

I just added HD, They only allowed Chicago in HD only for my Zip, But its $24 +$12.99 for the 12 Networks. A little Expensive, But I think I'll drop ABC and NBC in a Month,and Keep CBS and Fox for football season.

I'm watching hockey on KNBC. No blocking/distortation during any parts of the game on 60 inch Sony. Looks good to my eyes.

Here is a website where you can check what specific games will be on for a specific city. I figured it out that Chicago has the better value when looking for different games from LA and NY.

Did the one year purchase get you the 13th month? $289.99 does not seem like much of a savings for 12 months.

It did not include a 13 month. The yearly price averages out to $24.16 a month.
It's pretty pricey but I grew up in Chicago and was very disappointed when the Chicago HD locals went to spotbeam in February. I was very surprised to have the chance to get them back again.
