DirecTV only provides half-arse HD local access to its Atlanta subscribers as it is. And on top of that, after the FCC threatened to revoke digital licenses for some broadcasters not using the digital license, my local PBS stations simple fed the poor analog feed into the digital transmitter, which is then recompressed by DirecTV and fed like a drunken soldier.
Its pretty bad when the FCC adopts the ATSC specification and the PBS stations refuse to even transmit original content digitally, nor get with cable and satellite providers to re-transmit a kosher signal. Worse yet when 3rd world countries have had better examples of HD than the Public Broadcast Stations in Atlanta.
