DIRECTV Turns On Local HD in 4 More Markets

Green Bay, Wisc., Greensboro, N.C., Grand Rapids, Mich. and Providence, R.I. are the newest areas to be given the capability to subscribe to high-def local broadcast channels through DIRECTV, bringing the total number nationwide to 49, representing 65% of U.S. TV households. Eight more markets will get HD locals by the end of this year.

Customers can receive local HD channels by purchasing an H20 HD receiver or the new HR20 DIRECTV Plus HD DVR and satellite dish. Existing HD customers can upgrade their HD receiver and dish for $99 per receiver. New customers can take advantage of a $100 mail-in rebate on all DIRECTV HD and HD-DVR receivers.
