1. CBS HDTV programming may be available in select markets to some DIRECTV customers who have HD equipment and a TOTAL CHOICE® programming package or the DIRECTV HD Package. The CBS HDTV programming currently available for eligible customers is from either WCBS (New York) or KCBS (Los Angeles), depending upon your geographic location. The select markets where eligible customers may receive the feeds are: New York, NY, Los Angeles, CA, Chicago, IL, Philadelphia PA, San Francisco, CA, Boston, MI, Dallas-Fort Worth, TX, Detroit, MI, Minneapolis, MN, Miami, FL, Denver, CO, Pittsburgh, PA, Baltimore, MD, Salt Lake City, UT, Austin, TX, Green Bay, WI, Marquette, MI.

If you cannot see a picture on channel 80 or 81, and you live in one of these markets, you may need to obtain a waiver from one or more non-local CBS affiliates. This can take up to 45 days to process.

Please note, that in the near future, DIRECTV will be launching new state-of-the-art satellites to deliver HD local channel feeds from additional markets. When local HD channels launch in your market, you may no longer be able to see the New York and Los Angeles programming feeds, and a new dish and HD receiver will be required to see your local market HD channels.

2. Customers eligible for Distant Network Services who have HD equipment may receive CBS HDTV as part of their DNS subscription.
