Is there any way to find out when your market might be next? I live in Jackson, MS and am desperate for locals in HD. Right now am using a OTA but can't get NBC in HD.

This is good news. I'll probably move back to Louisville after college and now I know I'll get all the DirecTV HD local channels.

Ohh, I live in Wichita, KS. This could the the icing on the cake to get me to jump ship from the Cable company. No NBC though, humm.
