GetTV Getting Ready to Go

I'm hearing that GetTV is starting to appear in more markets. I just spotted PSIP for it on WFDC here in Washington, on 14-3 rather than 14-2. I'm hearing it's up in some form or another on 68-3 in New York, 61-3 in Cleveland, 43-2 or 43-3 in Orlando, and 49-2 or 49-3 in Dallas. Anyone else seeing anything?

It's on the air on 67.2 in Houston.PSIP says "GETTV".
49.2 in Dallas. PSIP is "GetTV". Has five days of EPG, with movies in both English and Spanish. However, my RCA DTA800B1 CECB is unable to decode the video.
43.2 here in Orlando.
49.2 is now transmitting video. They're using Cine Sony Television programming as a placeholder until the formal launch.
65-3 in Philly is on
Still no luck in Albuquerque's TV market on KTFQ-DT on so called 14.2 or RF ch 22.2.
Yes, 68.3-Newark and 67.3 Smithtown (both NYC Market UniMas stations) are showing C.S.T. programming with a graphic in the lower right corner reading "GET TV Coming FEBRUARY 2014." PSIP for both reads "GET TV."
As of Feb 1 2014, things have gone from good (the old B&W movies with no advertisements, even tho they only had 6 movies which they repeated twice a day), to terrible (crappy movies, prob from the 1970's-1980's)...Here in the SF Bay Area, 66.3 has not become "Get TV"...but "Bounce". What happened??? What a drag.
Is there a local tel number in SF Bay Area I can call to find out what's happening with 66.3?
Strangely, nothing in Phoenix, although the website suggest Flagstaff and Tucson have it.
Neither KINC-15 (Univision) or KELV-27 (UMAS, both Entravision ownership have answered my e-mails. So, Las Vegas missed the inital pre-launch and launch of Get TV.
Despite the website's claims, KUVE-DT Green Valley does not air getTV on channel 46.3 for the Tucson market.
