It seems that if you pay for local channels, you get the local HD channels for free.

I'm sure you would, if they existed. Unfortunately, DirecTV's *local* re-feeds are standard-def only.

They have a few *national* HD network feeds. For example, an NBC station out of LA and one out of NY, if I recall correctly. The problem is, in order to get THOSE, you've either got to live in that town, or you've got to request permission from your local affiliates. I was denied the permission when I made the request here in Seattle. (It was the day following that when I put up my roof antenna to get the HD OTA signals.)
