Will HD locals only include NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX, or will I also get WGN in HD since that is one of my local channels?

As far as I know but this is subject to change.. Only the big 4... An off air ant will be required for everything else.. but the remaining will not be hard to get as its in the uhf range. WGN and UPN are the best out there...
I heard only the "Big 4" networks mentioned, nothing about any other channels.
Goaliebob99, are you getting CBS-HD via Dish now? I wonder if Dish will switch you over to WBBM-DT?

Would be nice if we could persuade Dish to give us Comcast Sports Net HD...from their site, it looks like they did 30 games in HD in 2005...

Man, I wish WGN was HD nationwide, it would make me spend the $$ for a set to watch the cubbies in HD here on the east coast!
Ugh I don't see the point of WGN for the most part, with HD that is. Sorry I just get bitter with these stations that are HD ready but just broadcasting in digital for the most part. We have a station called KMCI 38 that only broadcasts programs in 480i to my knowledge, just digital signal. It's a worthless channel to carry for HD and I'd chew out Dish if they picked the POS up.
