3 years ago I got rid of Directv because I couldn't get HD NBC or HD ABC. Is this still the case in the Minneapolis area? Please let me know. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If not, can anyone explain why?

Have you checked DirecTV's website?

If not yet available, they should be once the D11 sat is operational.

Will a new HD receiver be needed?

The new receivers are required for MPEG4 reception. H20, H21, HR20, HR21 are some of the models that will get the job done.

I would like CW and MyNetwork in HD via satellite. According to both they are willing but, say the ball is in DirecTV's court to get it up.
