Yeah, apparently it's gone under the radar that WIVT 34-1 (ABC), 34-2 (NBC), and WETM-1 (NBC) are now running local syndication and commercials in HD when available... smile.gif

Yeah, that could be because I'm only watching the networks on DNS from DirecTV:cool:

I keep forgetting that DirecTV is carrying locals.

Anyone heard any rumors about if or when WBNG might switch to local HD news? WICZ looks great.

Have any of the TV providers picked the CW HD signal yet? Or is still just available OTA?

Nothing heard that I know of.

Heck WBNG can't even keep syndicated HD shows in HD after coming out from a local commercial.

I sent an email to DirecTV concerning the CW in HD and all I got back was the standard canned reply.
Maybe, it's time for us to send another email.

Here's the latest reply today.

I'm wondering if the Solid Signal HD Blade would work in my area.

With Crocker hill in between me and the towers I don't have a good feeling for this indoor antenna.
If it does better than other indoor ones i've tried, it would be nice to get the large Winegard off of the roof.

From what I remember reception was challenging with the 7084 outside. Therefore the answer is No.

HI Rick.
Yeah, the change in seasons affects my reception.
My signal strengths aren't too bad with the exception of ch 34.
It could possibly be tweaked a little, but I don't do roofs anymore. eek.gif

The Blade looked interesting as SolidSignal talked it up.
But, that's all hype.

With the new year coming, does anyone know if there are any potential retrans contracts expiring between the local channels and D*? I know Fox 40 is all set with their new contract signed this fall, but what about the others. Anyone know if their contacts with D* might be up?

Well, since this thread has laid dormant for over two months and there's been no reply to this post, there was an announcement of a fiber ring project for the Southern Tier over two years ago: http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/112777. The Corning Leader also covered the story: http://www.the-leader.com/news/x43527252/Bringing-counties-up-to-speed-Broadband-plan-excites-officials. It was supposed to be a 30 month project that began in June 2011, so that would mean slated completion @ the end of this year or early next. Would be nice to have an update on progress two years after the announcement.
