What does Dish Network's HDTV Future hold?

Actually, if can clear the various landmines of waiver acquisition (I had to get one from a station 110 miles away!) there is no charge for CBS-DT.

I am charged $1.50 for the WCBS-DT feed.

If you subscribe to a local station package then the CBS HD feed is supposed to be included for free, I don't pay for it.

I was told that it had to be a distant network package not your true locals. If this isn't true someone please pass on the info on how not to pay.

From the Dish web site:

Free with purchase of local channels package. $4.99/mo. without local channel subscription

That's on this page: http://www.dishnetwork.com/content/programming/hdtv/index.asp

I thought it was mentioned that The Weather Channel was also going to be included with some of these other ones?

The weather channel logo was listed on the HD truck that was touring the country.

The weather channel would look really cool in HD.
