Any news on when Dish is going to broadcast ABC & NBC HD?Well, I believe the problem is more with getting the feed to Dish as opposed to Dish carrying it. Plus, even if it was available, you'd have to qualify for it. To get CBS-HD now, as was mentioned above, you either have to be in a CBS O&O DMA (with no other nearby CBS broadcaster) or be eligible for the CBS distant network feeds (i.e. because you live in a "white area" that can't get CBS with an antenna).
Unless SHVIA changes are made, I think this problem will only get worse, not better -- for the short-term, at least.
There are no locals currently uplinking HD to Dish (i.e. distant network CBS-HD is pretty much it for the big four)...
As for DirecTV, I believe that they are in the same boat when it comes to network HDs, but don't know that for certain.
