When hell freezes over! LOL I dont know why dish doesnt pickup all of the HD channels in the Chicago land area as EVERY provider minus dish has these channels. All I can tell you is if you serously want your local news, sports and entertaiment coverage in full time HD run away from dish and switch providers. As of right now that's the only way you will see your local news, sports and entertainment in full time 100 percent hd no questions asked, no games missed, no news casts missed is to switch providers.
When it comes to anything Local for Chicago. Dish doesnt do it right, and they havent gotten it right.

if you don't mind paying ?$23 a month, you could sub to basic comcrap (the one without the digital box) and get all of the Chicago locals on your tv with Qam tuner. All possible locals in HD are in HD on basic comcast.
Or you can hook up an indoor antenna as I do and get everything in HD and integration with my DVR...
