Perhaps it moved. Do you have auto TP update enabled?

I can't find them either... there seems to be just a handful of local HD programming on satellite.... I get all those Buffalo stations using OTA (antenna)... if you have the VS9K then you can use the ATSC tuner in it (or the one in your TV if you have ATSC) to get local stations in HD. Just hook up a good antenna (UHF) and point and you're good to go. I pick up Buffalo, Rochester and a couple of other cities with my ATSC tuner. I'm wondering if this will be the trend as all these locals take up so much bandwidth/TPs and they'll just broadcast the CONUS programs.

Check this thread http://www.dssrookie.com/forums/b-fo...tup-72222.html the last few pages should cover it.

ConUS is a beam. It stands for COntinental U.S.. In other words, if your not in the continental US you won't get them any more.
