There are no HD locals available from D*. Only the national feeds from NY/LA.
When the spaceway birds go up later this year, D* will begin providing LiL (local into local) HD channels.
Any DC HD channels you want to acquire will have to be gotten OTA.

If you have an OTA Antennae try to rescan for channels in your area.
You do that within one of the Menu Screen and you can type in your Zip Code.
You will then get all the channels in you zip code. I was missing Local HD channels cause the Tech that did the install didn't notify me of this.

Yes, Fox and NBC are O&O for Washington, DC and you will be able to receive the national HD feed from NY. You will only receive the East feed though not East & West.Ransack said:
Don't count your chickens yet. I live in northern Virginia, and even though the Washington, DC, NBC affiliate is O&O, the Baltimore affiliate transmits a Grade B signal (in their opinion) to this area, so I'm ineligible for the NY feed. With the new DNS legislation, that all may change. DirecTV says that if they offer local into local service for your area, then you're ineligible for DNS. It doesn't explicitly say whether this applies to HD feeds, and I'm still getting FOX HD, so who knows.jburroughs said:
No, I wouldn't think that you'd be affected by the Baltimore Grade B signal. I'm only about 25 miles southwest of DC.Ransack said:
