Does anyone know if Nashville has gotten PBS by chance? Just switched back to dish and would love to have Sesame Street in HD for my 14 month old son.

Why pay $2.00 for something that you can receive with an antenna. If you can't put up an outdoor antenna try an indoor if you live in Chicago.
I don't guess our local PBS station - KNCT Belton - was dropped because it was still on last night, but alas not in HD.

I do have an antenna, but at my distance WTTW and wycc are iffy at best, especially on windy nights.
I see dozens of other cities getting PBS hd. It would be easier for dish to pick up WTTW than for me to spend $200 on a new antenna install.
Jus wondered if anyone heard anything about what the deal is?
Dish hates us in Chicago. Directv, Uverse, and Comcast offer Not only WTTW in HD, but also WCIU, WYCC, and the local Univision station in HD. Comcast and Uverse offers every local in HD.
does anyone know if the national feed that is on 249 is going HD? I think it comes out of Boston?
KTCA in Minneapolis is now HD! I wish that our other two PBS stations (KTCI and KAWB) were in HD, but nonetheless, I'm happy that we have one!!

KTCI won't be in hd because tpt life is not HD.
KAWB is unlikely because the link to the pop would cost too much. Same reason KWCM is not carryied. Cost too high:-(
NY - WNET HD - just a few weeks too late
It sure would have been nice to have WNET in HD when they were running "Sherlock" on Masterpiece Theater. Big event of the year, and they miss HD by a couple of weeks.

Afraid not the FIRST public education channel in the nation was WCET in Cincinnati OH.
From WCET (TV) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WCET was the first licensed public television station in the United States.[2] It was granted its license in 1951 and began broadcasting on July 26, 1954, from the third floor of Music Hall in Cincinnati, where it was located until 1959. In 1976.
It's one thing to be licensed and another to begin broadcasting. KUHT began broadcasting on May 25, 1953 over a year before WCET. KUHT is, in fact, the first public education channel on the air in this country.

KERA from DFW is now showing the HD in the station section. Now I can stop wasting HDD space recording most of my PBS stuff in MPEG 2. For every hr of MPEG 2 I get app an hr & 1/2 of MPEG 4.
I noticed that WEAO in the Cleveland market has been turned on, but no uplink report seems the be out there for it (although it is in TheList).
