HD Local Channel Question

[odiakan]

I live in NC and have the Raleigh local channels on Dish Network and I think my NBC station is out of Charlotte. I have the 811 receiver and want to change to the 211 but I'm unsure if I would be able to get the HD locals. Does anyone on the board have the Raleigh locals and the HD locals. Also my brother has the Florence, SC locals and the same receiver so I have the same questions about the HD locals there as well. Any help would be appreciated. I tried calling Dish but I got a gentleman who didn't quite seem to have a clue as to what I was talking about (or seem to care). Thanks again for the help.

Are you asking about HD from Sat or OTA
None of the networks are on sat in HD yet

None of the networks are on sat in HD yet

Except LA and NY.

Except LA and NY.

And another 5-6 markets in the next couple of months.

Yeah, but distant net subscribers cannot get the HD nets of Ny or LA, yet we pay our $5 just like everyone else.

Good point!

I was asking about sat. I can receive them OTA fine now (except NBC, its like 70 miles from here). Thanks for the information guys I really appreciate it.
