Answer 1

The transition to delivering the local digital stations is currently in progress and has to be done on a city by city basis.  DishNet and DirecTV are working together on this and generally transition a market at the same time.  For example, my city is being transitioned the week of 10/27 (I just sent back the Broadcaster Info Questionnaire)..  

So, if DishNet doesn't have the digital versions of your locals (and the HD that goes with it), the chances are DirecTV won't, either.  You had better call DishNet and DirecTV to check the transition date of your city before jumping ship, if Locals in HD is the only issue.

I hope this helps.  Please return and select a Best Answer from all of those submitted.
