Which city did you "move" to?

San Antonio, TX

How are you Austin folks getting San Antonio?

I've asked Dish before if they could point me to SA stations... they said that they couldn't.

I now get Austin HD locals over satellite...but I get both Austin and San Antonio HD locals OTA.

Question:
We get Austin, TX locals, and until recently Dish has told us that they did not broadcast the Austin, TX locals in HD (even though we pay for them).

Weird, they stopped billing me for locals (but I keep getting the SD locals and the TV guide) when I went HD. I prefer OTA--less compression, no HD-lite, I get the subchannels, the CW (best looking station in Austin) and PBS.

Well the Dish installer is coming out today to install our second dish for locals.

I didn't want to do the contract, though, in case things change in the future, so it was $60 for it.
