NBA channel dispute?

Comes in at my house.
Maybe it was a free preview?

Yep, I'm getting NBATV on channel 156. League Pass is only good during the NBA season...

And NBATV says (A)(H) which means clearly its available to customers whom subscribe.
It would say (NA) if it wasn't avaliable Juan.

But not on channel 560, they removed that one entirely.

There was a lot more in the uplink not included here that is listed on the other site. It appears the NBA channels were moved to 5002-5061 range where 30 of the channels are SD and 30 of the channels are HD (all the even number channels are SD, odd number channels are HD). My opinion is that NBA league pass is going to have both home/away feeds for each game, sort of like Extra Innings has. The nice thing is if Dish is truly designating 30 SD and 30 HD channels, that is enough channels for each team to have it's home feed on it's own channel. It could be something like Atlanta Hawks home feed being channels 5002 and 5003; Boston Celtics home feed would be 5004/5005; etc. Would be nice so people who buy League Pass could always go to a specific channel for a home team's feed.

The nice thing about putting the NBA League Pass SD and HD feeds on separate four-digit channel numbers is that it solves the problem of the receiver defaulting to the SD feed whenever you lose signal on the HD feed. This would be especially annoying in reverse, if the game is only being carried in SD and you lose signal on the SD channel, the receiver would switch to an HD channel showing nothing but the sports slate. This solves both of those problems since the channel numbers are not being duplicated. Hopefully the other sports packages will also get moved to the four-digit channel range.

Looks like my prediction was right. The online program guide has a dedicated channel number for each team, both an HD and an SD channel. Even for teams that Dish doesn't carry the RSN for.
