DirecTV will launch CBS HDTV feeds to customers in the network's owned and operated (O&O) markets Jan. 30, in time for the big game - the Super Bowl.
Eligible customers who have the appropriate HD receiving equipment and subscribe to DirecTV programming packages that include local channels, or the DirecTV HD package or receive CBS distant network signals, will have access to CBS HDTV programming that includes the Feb. 1 CBS presentation of Super Bowl XXXVIII.
EchoStar's DISH Network also has HD feeds of the big game available to its customers who reside in CBS' O&O markets, under terms almost identical to DirecTV's offering.
Eligible satellite TV customers will receive the live feed from either WCBS in New York City or KCBS in Los Angeles as part of their eligible programming package. In all, the CBS HDTV programming will be available in 17 markets where CBS owns and operates stations and nationwide for subscribers to CBS distant network signals.
(Please note Milwaukee is not an O&O market...Green Bay is however)
