Don't expect them from E* anytime soon- I don't think GR HD locals are even on the radar for E* for 2007. Get a good OTA antenna or "move" to a conus (not spot beam) served HD locals city.
Also, I'm hearing there's real issues with D* HD locals in GR- especially WWMT.
Yea i'm using a HDTV rabbit ears i got for $5 from walmart and getting Fox and ABC in HD During primetime. i'll probably never see Grand rapids,MI local's in HD on E* but I'm going to be moving to Florida hopefully late this summer where i won't see A Snow flake and be able to get either FIOS or at least a 10 mb/s cable internet connection and get rsn's in HD down there.
