Sorry, just saw the previous post with this info.

Today, locals for ABC, CBS, NBC (Channels 12, 6, 4) in Beaumont, Texas became available. At the moment, only SD not HD.

For those interested, the word I have from D* is that locals for the Beaumont/Port Arthur areas of Texas will be available on or around 17th October 2007.

Local Channels? Does the launch of this satellite mean that a lot of the gaps in providing local channels will be filled in? I live in the Beaumont area of Texas. Thank you.

Is it true that DirecTV and Tivo have maintained and will maintain a relationship that could result in a DVR based on TiVo technology, that would be able to handle MPEG4 HD?

Is there an HD version of PBS Channel 384 available?

Actually If anyone also watches PBS on Ch. 384, there is something funny going on with the sound - it goes up and down in loudness. Has anyone else noticed this?

I don't know if this is a new topic or not - if not I apologize. For the last several weeks, the sound on channel 82 has been dropping out as frequently as several times a minute. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? What is going on? Thanks. jammy.

As Questioner said, the Wimbledon broadcasts ARE Widescreen, but NOT HD!!

NBC apparently say they could not afford the expense of setting up all the necessary equipment to show Wimbledon in HD. BUT.... As the BBC is already showing Wimbledon in HD, surely all that would be required would be to convert the British PAL HD signal into American NTSC HD! That doesn't...

I've been searching on the internet to see if NBC plans to show this year's Wimbledon in HD. From what I've seen, it looks as though the transmission will be in SD only. Can anyone confirm this one way or the other? Thanks.

Even though I last had cable TV about 7 years aga and have never had E*, I would still rate D*'s service as high as 8/10. Yes, I still want more HD and better HD quality and yes I have had technical problems that needed fixed (some fixed well, some fixed not so well). Yes, I am still waiting...

I set my DVR to record a National Geographic HD preview on Channel 98. When I got home to check, no recording. What is going on? Thanks.

Of course, I mean broadcast in the U.S. in HD. I'm almost certain that it will be broadcast in HD in the United Kingdom.

Of course I mean broadcast here in the U.S. I'm almost certain that it will be shown in HD in the Unoted Kingdom.
