Well, I just tried it in Peoria, who does NOT have a local CW & the only thing it says is this:
Eligibilty review for the following:
5407 N UNIVERSITY ST
PEORIA, IL 61614-4736
Standard Distant Network Service
Not available because DIRECTV offers local network programming in your area
So, what it sounds like is this:
If you are in a LIL market that does NOT have a local CW affiliate already, (such as Peoria, IL) you are now getting it automatically as part of your local channel package & that it's automatically been added.
If you are in a non-LIL market, you have to qualify for it, just like any other network.
If D* shows you to be in a true white area for CW, then they'll let you add it.
