Local HD channels

What HD local channels are available on Dish Network vs. Direct TV?
Thanks.

Directv offers 6 HD locals, FOXHD6, NBCHD4, CBSHD58, ABCHD12, PBSHD and CWHD18 from one single dish.

(Since they offer all of these, the only thing stopping me now is there are no BBCAHD or AMCHD channels, Directv appears to be not interested in adding any (more) HD channels:( but that's just my take on it).

Dishnetwork offers 4 HD locals, including most recently, CBSHD58 (took a long time to get).
I am not certain if you need 2 dishes to get all your Dishnetwork channels, especially the HD locals or not, but it beats playing with an antenna everytime you change channels.
Some local areas, like Chicago, offer CWHD also, to make it 5 HD locals.

Yeah it's 6 to 4.  You really can't beat the price on Dish Network though.  However, my boyfriend is a huge NFL fan and has to have the NFL ticket so we have to stick with Direct TV.  I like it overall.
