Not at this time, but you will need to have it once they start using D10 and D11 for more HD channels. It doesn't hurt to have it on now so you're all ready to go once they turn them up.

Well...digiblur said:
DirecTV has only had two HD stations in Portland for the past six months. So it is obvious that they are trying to get the contracts signed, but some station groups make it impossible.
What about locals in Beaumont Texas?
I think the Beaumont market is ranked about 130-140.
But D* has provided locals for markets ranked lower than that.
Why are they not doing things in order?
I want my Beaumont locals!!!

Two choices... switch to E*, they have the Beaumont locals. Or "move" to Houston, TX.
The ABC station in Portland is owned by Fisher, as is the one in Seattle. On the Seattle DBS thread on avsforums there was a quote from a Fisher official stating that a retransmission agreement had been reached in December. It is now 4 months later and neither station is yet carried on Directv.
I've heard that rumor, too.
As to the question regarding Beaumont, there was a quote taken from some DirecTV executive stating they'd add another 30 markets in SD later this year, with the confirmation of Laredo being one. I suspect DirecTV will be adding some local channels to the existing spot-beam satellites. Barring any FCC or Congressional action on "multicast must-carry" or what the NAB is calling signal-splitting, DirecTV could have all markets up in HD by the end of 2008.
