Your ignorance is showing.

It has nothing to do with HD.

Now there is no doubt that you don't know what your are talking about.

Price HD vs SD cameras, mixers and editors. Price the difference in the cost of the storage systems for HD vs SD. Most stations are buying HD infrastructure, not SD. They are spending millions that wouldn't be required for SD only. You still can't say why.

Now answer my question - how are they going to pay back that
investment? By sending you free OTA HD, you and the other 16 percent
of the OTA market,,?

The way they have always done. Putting out product that attracts the viewers that advertiser's want to see their ads.

You need to get back on the Prozac dude,,

i have local station feeds, with network programs, on my Direct TV
right now, They are also on Cox cable,,, For a premium right now I
can get the HD feeds from the local network affliates to,,, There is
no legal restrictions at all,,just contracts between the networks and
the cabl/Sat companies.

You still haven't answered the question put to you:

Why are local stations spending millions for HD infrastructures if they
don't plan on creating and broadcasting HD content?
