HD Locals for Charleston, WVa. viewing area

[just4coco]

Does anyone know when we might be getting the local channels in HD in the Huntington- Charleston WVa. viewing area.

not sure I will look at work tomarrow and see when and if we will get them soon huntington area

Yeah I would like to know too. I am assuming not until D11 launches with the spot beam problems that D10 has.

Does anyone have any info?

 

[Stargazer]

Nope, not yet. I am sure when there is info it will be posted on this site.

My wife insists on watching local news from WSAZ and it sure looks awful.

I don't suppose they are doing it in HD yet, but it would still look a lot better on an HD channel.

I would think our market would be one of the first to be picked up by D* when they start adding new HD DMAs.

 

[just4coco]

I agree. I hope to get locals in HD soon.

Seems like WV is the last to get anything.

Where in WV are you? Huntington area?

Well to make you WV guys / E KY people feel better here in Louisville, KY we have yet to have local HD yet also.

The people in the Huntington, W.Va. viewing area need to call Directv to ask them to add MyZ TV, to our local channels lineup.

West Virginia is in eight DMAs so some parts of the state enjoy HD locals while others wait. I hope you guys on the other end of the state get HD locals soon.

We will not see MyZ for a long time if ever. We don't even have HD locals let alone MyZ. We are probably lucky to even have locals here.

All the locals here are broadcasting in HD, we just don't get them on Directv.

I called Directv today to ask them when we would receive our locals in HD. The csr told me that his records show that our locals don't broadcast in HD yet. I told him I knew they all broadcast in HD. But he insisted that his records show that they didn't, and if they did we would of already had them in HD. Please call and complain to Directv about this bad information they are giving out.

It is very hard to watch our local channels in SD after watching all the new HD channels. Hope to get our locals in HD soon. At least our local channels should let us have a waiver to receive our NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX nationals in HD until Directv gives us our locals in HD.

I get the NY HD locals but I live in an area where I can pick up locals with an antenna.

 

[just4coco]

Did you just get them or were you grandfathered in by having the distant locals.

 

[Ramy]

I was grandfathered in, but you can go online to Directv's website and see if you are eligible for some of them.

I live in Flatwoods. I have tried to use an antenna to get my HD locals. But they are very poor reception.
