HD Locals Ft. Myers/Naples

[tjwagner]

Anyone have info as to when DTV will broadcast the Ft Myers/Naples FL locals in HD?

Please see all the other existing threads on HD locals including the posted DMA list.

Along the same thought

If I were to walk 100 feet across the street, I am in the Tampa market which is broadcasting locals in HD. Is it possible to tell DTV I moved to that zip code in order to receive the HD locals?

 

[charper1]

yes, but only change the SERVICE address, not the billing.

Also remember that the Ft Myers CBS station is not yet broadcasting OTA & the latest news is that it will be June 2006 at the earliest before they are broadcasting.

Possible, but not really legal.

You are so close to Tampa that "significantly viewed" rules should be able to fix that someday.

Have you considered installing an outdoor antenna to receive HD without satellite?
