You mentioned CBS.  When my cable TV bill came, there was
a flyer promoting the additional digital channels now available.
Besides the cable carriers (ESPN-DT,HBO-DT etc) there was a 
listing of three over-the-air-DTV channels:
WCVB-DT, WHDH-DT and WGBH-DT...
no WBZ-DT.  I don't know why channel 30 isn't available
through Comcast yet, but I guess CBS in HDTV 
will not be available through a cable hookup yet.
