"For those of you whose local affiliates are showing the HD, are they putting local commercials into the breaks? Or are they just passing it as is? I was told by my local station that they have chosen not to pass the HD signal because of the difference in the SD and HD broadcasts. They said they were not setup to handle the differences that would occur in the break times during the SD and HD broadcasts."
Our local affilliate is not putting any local commercials into the breaks, but is passing the HD broadcast in it's entirety. They have one subchannel that's been showing nothing but a test pattern for almost a year, but now suddenly has the SD coverage on it. On that subchannel and on their analog channel there's an intermittent bug stating the digital and HD coverage is sponsored by one of the local Native American casinos.
