BTW, all the major networks seem to be available on Cox cable here but in analog. On the ABC, CBS, and PBS feeds are in HD. I have no idea why the CW & NBC aren't available in HD. Someone said it was contract negotiations for NBC but nobody has even mentioned why I can't watch Smallville, Supernatural, and Veronica Mars in HD here.

NBCHD is missing because of a retransmission consent dispute.

The CW is a sub-channel on WCJB-DT. There's not enough room for ABCHD and CWHD. If enough people raised a stink, however, WCJB could provide a direct feed of CWHD to Cox cable, as they do now for the ABC feeds.
