CBS non-HD is 382. Where do I find the HD channels for 2, 4, 5 & 7? Thanks for the help.

There are none HD Locals on DTV

Are you sure? I certainly get CBSE, ABCE etc. which look like local channels. Are people getting DirectTV HD just for HBO? I get CBS HD over TWC in NYC.

Yes,

DTV only has HDNET 199 and HBO 509 that is it,

The national eastcoast feeds of the networks are out of NY (i.e. your local channels). They are not in HD. CBS-2 is 380, NBC-4 is 382, ABC-7 is 386 and Fox is 388.

chewitt,


Dish network does carry your local CBS station, WCBS-DT, in HDTV. If you have a DirecTV HD receiver, you just need to put up an antenna to get a few HDTV stations over the air in New York.


Unfortunately, most of the local digital stations were on World Trade Center One. There are still a few HDTV stations in New York. Right now, restoring analog service is the highest priority for area broadcasters. If you do a search on this forum, you can find out far more on this topic.
