You might wish to do what I did for my locals including HD.
I dropped the DISH locals ONLY (which included the HD), and I am renting the HD box from timewarner (in Lake County) for approximately $8/mth. I receive ALL the HD locals as well and also a few unexpected HD national channels, all on basic $11/mth basic (plus the HD box rental).
With the past week of bad weather in Cleveland I lost SAT 61.5 and all DISH HD service, tech service will be here soon after Christmas, so timewarner HD has been my backup.
BTW: DISH gave me credit for the $29 service call and a $25 credit for loss of DISH HD service for this week.
