Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"What is the best wireless surround sound speaker solution? I have a home theater where running wires is just not feasible. I have my own speakers, so I don't want a system that has speakers with integrated wireless. I've done a far amount of research and have only come across a few companies that even offer a reasonable solution: KEF, Kenwood and Rocketfish. Is there anything else out there? What do you recommend? Thank you!"
If, by "HD locals" you mean CBS, NBC, ABC & FOX, then yes, they have some of that (though not all of those in 60+ markets).
But you certainly do no mean PBS, since they carry no PBS stations, nor in many markets do you mean the CW. In cities where they have independent stations, those are also mostly missing in HD. As are all sub-channels. In Los Angeles, where DirecTV is located, two former "VHF" stations (including the Laker channel) and all "UHF" stations are missing.
Meanwhile DirecTV is removing over-the-air capability from their newer receivers -- the new chipsets don't support 8VSB.
What's not to like?
Ignore that last comment! I don't know where that came from! What I intended to say was that anytime they refer to DirecTV offering local HD channels, they are referring to local affiliates of CBS, NBC, ABC and Fox. Why does everyone have such a hard time understanding what that means? Every market has local affiliates for the major networks. The locals play the content delivered to them from the network and you get your local news and non-network programming in HD (if available) as well. That's what a local station is. They don't carry local indie channels in HD (do they even exist anymore?) and they don't carry The CW or local PBS stations yet (nor MyNetwork TV). If it's true about the off-air antenna being non-supported with newer models, then that sucks! I can pick up local network and PBS stations in Baltimore and D.C. - plus The CW - with my antenna. I never use DirecTV for local HD because there are always problems with audio skipping and distortion on some channels and video freezing and breaking up on others. If I lose the off-air antenna capability with my HD DVR, then I'll have to consider other alternatives to DirecTV unless they can finally deliver flawless video and audio for the locals and add the other locals they don't currently carry.
