Planned for next week, either the 19th or 20th:

Des Moines IA
El Paso TX
Fort Wayne IN
La Crosse-Eau Claire WI
Peoria IL
Rockford IL

Obviously things could change up until the actual launch.
So they are skipping this week? I was hoping Thursday would be EP, TX launch.
 
Dang, DMA 156 got left off again. :D

One thing to remember is that it isn't just the DMA that determines when DirecTV offers locals. The number of DirecTV subscribers in that DMA is also factored in. If your DMA gets skipped, it may be because there are fewer DirecTV subs. Oh yeah, the TV stations might not be cooperating either.

From Directv
6 new HD local markets on Wed. 11/19 - El Paso, TX, Rockford, IL, Fort Wayne, IN, La Crosse, WI, Peoria, IL and Des Moines, IA
 
When is Flint / Saginaw, MI (DMA 66) supposed to get PBS in HD?

Why don't I have any OTA digital subchannels?

The CW affiliate in my market isn't in HD yet. Can I get one of the national (flagship) CW affiliates in HD?
 
New HD locals launching this Wed 11/19

Directv will be adding 6 new HD local markets this Wed. 11/19. They will be:


  1. El Paso, TX
  2. Rockford, IL
  3. Fort Wayne, IN
  4. La Crosse, WI
  5. Peoria, IL
  6. Des Moines, IA

Note: This is an early estimate, please keep posted for more updates. If there is problems it may be Thursday 11/20.
 
Our CW affiliate (WBSF) isn't even in HD yet, and our MNT affiliate (WNEM-DT2) is a digital subchannel of the CBS affiliate (WNEM-TV). Am I allowed to get the flagship feeds from NYC or L.A.?
:(

Mine is on there...to bad I am with Dish and will be another 20-30 years...well maybe not that long, but I would doubt that they will add before first quarter of next year at the earliest.

No eta on PBS. Speculation is it will be 28, not 19.

Directv doesn't do OTA sub at all.

Can't get any other CW. 46 is going digital (and hopefully HD) exactly at the transition date 2/17/09, but no word if D* will carry it in HD.
