DirecTV adds HD locals in six more markets
Just six more to go until DirecTV hits the 121 markets promised HD locals by year end, customers in Des Moines-Ames, Iowa; El Paso, Texas; Fort Wayne, Ind.; La Crosse-Eau Claire, Wis.; Peoria-Bloomington, Ill.; and Rockford, Ill. joined the party today. Which ones are available in each market are your and are best guess, but Kevin let us know that Fort Wayne snapped on CBS, ABC, NBC, PBS, and FOX, so here's hoping for the best.[Thanks, Kevin]

ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox were lit up in Des Moines. The CW and PBS were not included.

El Paso, TX has Fox (14), NBC (9), and CBS (4) in HD locals at this time. Apparently they have disappeared from the guide, though.
Fox and CBS are in 720, NBC in 1080i.

I don't know why DirecTV doesn't have The CW local in Baltimore. The same company owns the local Fox station in town and both signals are coming from the same building. Are they just waiting to see if The CW is going to stick around for another year??

Are we going to be getting an new national HD channels from the new satellite, or are they all going to be new local HD channels?
