Only in select areas.

 

[DataWave]

well I guess Im not in that select area. Minnesota

DW

 

[Mr Tony]

nope
CW Twin Cities isnt on Dish yet. They're owned by SINclair so it may be a while...I'm amazed they give it to us OTA for free (since they dont like to give anything away for free)

The ones where it was added were Tribune owned stations and usually areas where CW is owned by same folks that own a Big 4 station so they kinda tie them together (want to uplkink say NBC...ya gotta uplink CW too)

 

[DataWave]

Well I am a little bit further north than the twin cities. So OTA wont work for me, I tried.. ah well. Guess SD or nothing for now

 

[Mr Tony]

But you get Twin Cities locals right?
Or are you in the Duluth market?

 

[DataWave]

Im in the Duluth market

 

[Mr Tony]

Duluth doesnt even have CW in SD on the locals (subchannel on CBS 3)...or do you still get WPIX as part of the locals?
I use to have WPIX as part fo the locals when I was in Duluth (a couple years ago)

Duluth doesnt even have CW in HD OTA
3-2 in Duluth
11-3 in Chisholm/Hibbing

I have the CW in HD, but wish I had NBC in HD instead. With football around the corner it is going to suck having to watch the Sunday night games in SD.

 

[am7crew]

not here in Atlanta, wish we had it tho.

Ya I get WPIX along with WWOR, WSBK, KWGN and KTLA as part of the superstation package.

These are not in HD. OP wants CW in HD not sd.

The OP needs to "move" or pay for HD distants, as HD OTA is not an option.

 

[Mr Tony]

but where he is located there are only a couple options with spotbeams and location
-Duluth, MN (where he is located)
-Minneapolis (where we dont have CW in HD)

thats it

Ouch... So, he/she would have to pay for HD distants?

 

[Mr Tony]

yes pretty much. But HD distants dont have CW (or My)

The CW affiliate for Columbus, OH was included when Dish turn on HD locals earlier this year. But, if the same company didn't run both the ABC and CW affiliates, I doubt we would have received the CW in HD. It's a safe bet that during negotiations for carriage of the ABC affiliate the station owner required the deal to include the CW affiliate at the same time.

What we are missing though is CBS-HD. Dish and WBNS-10TV have still not reached an agreement for carriage. (No PBS either, of course).

In the Denver locals package, KWGN (CW) is in HD. However I think it is only in SD on the Superstation package. MyTV in Denver is HD OTA, but NOT on Dish. I have to use OTA to see that station in full, glorious HD.

 

[DataWave]

These are not in HD. OP wants CW in HD not sd.

Yes I realize these are not in HD, I was just saying what channels I was getting for superstations.

I guess I wait it out, and suck it up.

 

[whatchel1]

HD ?

I didn't know that MyTV had any HD programs.
