Ok, I don't have satellite, so correct me if I'm wrong... but I thought that WDJT had yet to sign a retransmission agreement with the satellite companies for the digital signal... no?

If they haven't... then what is with this page?

No clue...as all those channels are not available for me.  I don't even have anything in the 900's...unless Direct is working on some new mappings.

952 makes no sense.  All of DTV's HD locals have the same channel number as SD.

IIRC those may be the MPEG-2 mirrors for legacy equipment. Way back in about 97-98 the locals were all in the 900's.

I'd say their info is outdated.  D* now maps the locals to match your local channel number assignment.

The 900 feeds are still be active but again, I believe they are for older legacy gear. Really old gear.
