I have been a D* subscriber since 1996. I had the distant networks when I first subscribed. When I moved in 2000, I changed to the locals in my area (I know, big mistake). Would I be eligible for the distants again if I asked? Is this all moot because the rules are changing?

Nope, if you live in a LIL market, you can't get distants, period - waivers or not, LOS f/the locals satellite, etc, doesn't matter.
The rules for this came about last October.

Not completely true because I get CBS HD DNS since my local station is not at full power yet and is an O&O station.
HD id the exception. If your station is O&O you get HD version...but you can't get distant SD channels

Correct & that is ONLY temporary, until D* puts up your local HD channels on the new birds - once they are put up, they WILL be taking away all those HD distants in those HD LIL markets as they launch, REGARDLESS if your local station is full power or not. (since it will be on DBS, it won't matter to you
