I recently visited the website to change my programming and moved over to the HD section to see if anything has changed.  One thing that I did notice is that Milwaukee was listed under the eligible markets for the national feeds on all networks...was this just a web designer flaw, or are they making their way towards getting these channels to those that are unable to get them over the air?

ABC

NBC

CBS

FOX

I personally am able to get FOX from them, and ABC & NBC of the air, but have difficulties getting CBS...

This is probably a mistake. As you may know, you can only get national HD feeds from D* if you live in a market with an O&O (owned and operated) station. In Milwaukee, this is just FOX.
They do go on to say that you can request a waiver from the other stations, but these apparently don't get granted too often.
I'm with you on wishing it were otherwise. FOX and CBS digital are not strong enough to make it to my house just 12 miles north of Milwaukee!
