I get Anchorage HD from Dish on 110, I think Fairbanks gets their HD feed from 148. Right now I believe Anchorage has the largest choice of HD networks in Alaska.
Can't get signals from 61.5 or 129, not sure about 118.7.

I thought Arkansas had no HD LiL.... which networks are missing? If it's all 4, then it doesn't go on this list....
So Bismarck gets HD locals for ABC, NBC, and FOX? I want to be sure before I put it on the list....
The main way I could get a lil where I am for HD is by adding a 65 sat...which means a new dish, or I would have to go to an out of state local. 129 twin cities.
I'm of the opinion that, while in most cases the station owners are the ones that stonewalled Dish from carrying them in HD, Dish is in no hurry to negotiate something with these guys. Why? Because they are more concerned with their "city count" than with how complete the coverage is in each city. The less channels they cover in each city, the more bandwidth they have for the next city. Sucks, but I doubt we'll see the gaps filled in for at least another year.
Thankfully I can pull Fox from 40 miles away via a little Zenith indoor directional antenna from the second floor of my house, and get 90% signal strength. But I'm lucky.

"Moving" is a beautiful thing, eh?
Amen to that. Like you, I am in Louisiana but moved to the Atlanta area about 6 years ago. I get all my network channels in HD and can still pick up the locals in HD OTA, weather permitting. I won't go back, either, when we get HD locals here as I like the programming there better, especially Fox Sports and Sports South where we pick up 75% of the Braves games.
DTV, TWC, and AT&T Uverse all have NBC in HD. If Dish does not get NBC in HD before the football season starts, I am dropping them and going with AT&T.
Scott is reporting that DISH and Tribune (which owns some FOX stations including FOX 61 in Hartford) may have an "announcement in the next few weeks". I hope this means more local HD for these stations that aren't live yet.
Lansing, MI has ABC, PBS, CBS, NBC, FOX all in SD.
A couple stripped pieces of grounding wire attached to an old balun and taped to a piece of cardboard provides the Dish 722 with 75% signal on local NBC-DT and FOX-DT, though. What the hey, a 3rd input signal never hurt anyone.

I get all with one of those Radio Shack Star Trek NG indoor antennas. But, those HD's are a-coming. They're uplinked and check out the screen shot by Scott from last Retailer's Chat. Looks like this summer, if we trust Dish time frame.

Your missing KHNL-DT (NBC) Honolulu from the list.
Neither Dish nor Directv carry it due to reception issues.
Rumor mill though has the issue resolved by Sept.

I would beware of ATT right now unless things have changed. Scott has said before that it is not ready for primetime yet. I have been in contact with the new owners of WOAI and they said they are working on an agreement. We shall see.
