I seem to ask this question every few months, so I beg your pardon in advance;). When, oh when, will D* start being able to either broadcast my local PBS in HD or a national PBSHD feed? Someone must know why or why not. Greg

No current news.

They originally said 'this year', which is rapidly coming to a close. I'd expect to see it soon.

Over at DBSTalk.com, there are some reports of additional local PBSHD stations showing up on D*. This could be the start of a long delayed rollout filnally coming true:D

Whatever happened? Nearly one year later, and still no sign of it.:mad:

Continuing its unprecedented expansion of HD services, DIRECTV, the industry leader in HD programming, will include the local HD feeds of Public Television stations in its HD rollout plans beginning in 2008. DIRECTV currently offers local HD programming in 68 markets, representing more than 72 percent of U.S. TV households...

I've been wondering the same thing. Seems like they're stalled for some reason.
