Seattle would run a close second.......
BFG, given the fact that these affiliates are charging big bucks to the local ad buyers, there is zero incentive for them to be "nice guys" about this.
It's all about money, and they will not give up a chance to get more unless you nag the heck out of them for waivers (which will get you SD distants, but doesn't seem to help with HD distants yet)

What most of us were / are talking about is making the distant ABC-HD feed available to those ALREADY GETTING the distant SD feed and thus would NOT BE WATCHING THE FRIGGEN LOCAL AFILIATE ANYWAY.
I'll be glad when next Monday gets here so I don't have to say this anymore.
Well I searched this thread and didnt see any mention of it, but I'm upset that I'm not getting it (even for a day) over dish in the Dallas area.

Yes ME TOO!! I still would like to know how one of two DBS company's can do this? D* must work some kind of magic with all the exclusive deals?? Yea yea i know shut up and be happy.
KOMO is the local ABC affiliate for Seattle. It generally does a great job with OTA. And that's all and good but there's a lot of problems with getting the signal like hills and towering evergreens. If Dish would carry it I'd record both sources. I say good for Pittsburgh for being able to get it. No sour grapes. Seattle needs to be added to the list too.
I live about 45 miles from Pittsburgh (Ford City) Put up a Radioshack outdoor antenna today It looks like a Saucer, also has a inline amplifier. I picked up 9 Digital stations all over 90% Very satified http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062075&cp=&kw=antenna&parentPage=search

Yes. It’s true. Expect the HD broadcast on Sunday only for the distant HD signal.

Will it be MPEG-2 or MPEG-4? If it is MPEG-2, will I just have to go to the channel it will be on and it should be in HD?
