South Florida's CW affiliate (WSFL-TV) shows up on DirecTV

by Darren Murph Mar 21st 2008 @ 9:31AM

There's been quite a lot of HD action down in South Florida of late, and out of seemingly nowhere, here comes a bit more. As of now, DirecTV subscribers in the region can tune to channel 39 WSFL in order to watch WSFL-TV in high-definition. Just last week, the region's The CW affiliate was still not viewable in HD via DirecTV, and while the station's own website still assures you that you'll need an OTA antenna in order to receive its HD signal, we've got photo evidence proving otherwise. We've no idea what sparked the addition, but hey, we certainly aren't complaining.

[Thanks, Michael]

What makes you think it is in HD? Just because they broadcast in HD doesn't mean the DirecTV feed is in HD, although it might be. Can't tell by that screen shot.

We confirmed with an individual receiving this in South Florida -- channel 39 WSFL is indeed HD, while 39 MI39 is SD via satellite and 39-1WSFL-DT is HD via OTA.

Why won't DirecTV broadcast CW in HD in the Twin Cities...? :(

WUCW (CW in the Twin Cities)

Was expected last week, for for some reason it didn't go live.

So hopefully what ever the reason for it's delay, is cleared up soon.

this happened on monday (or even sunday)
what's nice is that EVERYTHING is in it's original aspect ratio. tv shows and commercials in 4:3 and hd shows in 16:9 (primetime stuff and some syndicated stuff like everyone love raymond and two and a half men even show the [HD] icon next to them!)

it's about time!
