I am just wondering if Directv has started adding any new HD locals with this new satalite?

Probably not until D11 goes up next year.
So, what you are saying is that "no" new cities will get HD locals with this satellite?

I was about to ask the same question. I live in the Scranton/Wilkes Barre area and am growing tired of watching locals in SD. Heroes, Lost, NFL games, etc... just won't be the same. Hopefully Directv adds my local HD channels soon. If anyone has any inside info please post it here.
Another question, as this is my "boobies" post. I have spent hours trying to figure out how to set up a OTA antenna, what type to get, and I still feel very lost. I am mildly technical but no nothing about antennas unfortunately... Any direction you can point me in would be great.
DIRECTV's roll out of local HD channels in Mankato is part of a nationwide expansion of HD programming that includes plans to offer local HD channels in up to 75 markets and up to 100 national HD channels by year end.
From what I have been told from inside El Segundo - within 2-3 weeks there won't even be a debate - D* will be crushing the compettion with its HD offering. The total package - Nationals, Conus RSNs, movie channels, add'l local markets lighting up, and add'l channels WITHIN markets ALREADY lit for HD. Something for everyone it seems.
I'll leave it at that! Let's see just how accurate this is by the end of the month!
People ask - I relay the info I get (when I can). I have been told that there will be HD locals being added 'soon'. As seen all of this is subject to immediate change - so don't get your hopes up.
But it is what I am hearing!![]()
Yes, I know all about that, but D10 has had some spotbeam troubles and I didn't want to get anyones hopes up and then them come up mad because it didn't happen.
I would think we should get some locals unless all of the spotbeams are defective on D10.
The rumor was that the spotbeam troubles were the northwest part of the country. If true that means the spotbeam trouble wouldn't affect nobody else.
