DirecTV doesn't do local HDTV stations. It'd take up WAY to much bandwidth right now (about 19.5Mbps per HDTV channel). The locals you're seeing through DirecTV are the analog stations that are converted to digital and VERY compressed.

Correct, it's DIRECTV's version of local HDTV. Very compressed.
