In Western MA PBS is running 4 programs during the day (all SD) and 
one HD and one SD after 8pm. Everyone here, except ABC which just 
began running HD (minus Dolby 5.1) is running an SD channel, mostly 
with weather info or their Doppler radar. WFSB, Hartford, is running 
their Springfield LPTV on DTV-2.
