DirecTV brings PBS HD to 14 local markets {Engadget HD}
Dec 3rd 2008 7:12PM In Minneapolis, KTCA 2-1 is the simulcasted SD, digital PBS channel. 2-2 is the HD channel with a completely different schedule. DirecTV is feeding the Minneapolis DMA KTCA 2-1...so, no HD...yet. According to this link:
http://www.tpt.org/program/digital_updates.html
..they will be merging the two channels' programming on 12/15. Here's hoping DirecTV remembers to change from feeding 2-1, to feeding 2-2 on 12/15.

PPV movies get 24-hour clock on DirecTV {Engadget HD}
Apr 8th 2008 5:05PM I don't doubt that the studios are to blame for this new "rule"...but where's the announcement of similar limitations on Dish Network's DVRs? Or Comcast's? Or Verizon's? etc. etc. etc.
