If NESN wasnt a 24/7 HD channel then it would be going up.
NESN will not let Dish just carry the games, they want them to carry all or nothing.

Change it on the main page too.
I was extremely excited until I read the details and it meant nothing to me.
Thanks for the info... I was going to ask if FSN Cincinnati was going to be on 129 or not. I have a D1000 pointing at 110/119/129 so I'm set. I was worried it might be put on 61.5 and not 129. Works for me.
Why they are 8 HD channels.Change it on the main page too.

However with that said you might get excited with the news I will be posting later today.
Stay tuned!
Oh sure, just because NESN is a little more technically advanced than other RSNs, we the E* subs have to be "penalized" for it.....If NESN wasnt a 24/7 HD channel then it would be going up.

Will space open up on 61.5 after the VOOM MPEG4 conversions are done??
I would say talk to NESN on that one. If NESN just let them carry the games (like other 24 hour HD RSN's do) then we could be seeing the Sox in HD now on Dish Network.
But since NESN wants them to carry it full time and not just the games there is no room for it at the moment. Dish would rather use the national conus space it has now for national HD programming.
Again our only hope of seeing it this year is if the FCC gives Dish control over Sky Angel's transponders. But I dont see that happening until this fall if not later.

I keep hearing this, but the fact is EchoStar has "control" of all the Dominion Sky Angel Tps except the 2 being used for the Sky Angel service. That likely will not change until the Sky Angel satellite service shuts down, regardless of whether EchoStar has the licenses in hand or not. EchoStar really needs a "new" satellite at 61.5 to allow usage of a few Tps which do not work on EchoStar 3.
Dominion has stated that once the FCC transfers these licenses, that Sky Angel will cease transmitting on those transponders.
Also Echostar has another Satellite at 61.5...
It use to be known as Rainbow 1. But now I believe they are calling it Echostar 10.

Whoops... anyone remember what they renamed Rainbow 1 to be?
From what I know, there's only Echostar 3 and Rainbow 1 at 61.5. Don't really remember hearing anything about Rainbow 1 being renamed but I probably just missed it.
It is EchoStar 12 and it will not work on the Tps which are dead on EchoStar 3.

Scott,
You're such a tease

Echostar 12 according to Wikipedia:
Rainbow-1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Echostar (owner of Dish Network) now owns the satellite (as it carries Voom HD Networks). In effect, the satellite was renamed Echostar 12 (or E*12) in March 2006.

Good info! Dish Network doesn't have it listed in their website list of satellites.
DISH Network -- Our Satellites
Great news for those wanting their RSN.. obviously some missing from the list that people want, but I'm shocked FSN Cincinnati is in the list! I'm not complaining, but I'm glad it's there so that any games shown on FSN-Cincinnati/Ohio I'll be able to see..
Now how long till we see things like NESN and CSN Chicago to make more people happy..
I was suprised my FSN North was being lit up. Now i will get to see my Twins in HD.
Hope the Sox fans (both White and Red) will be able to get their HD RSN's shortly. I was going to say "soon" but thats a 4 letter word that E* uses a lot.

You have definately peaked my interest!
:
We Mets fans LOVE the fact that I ole George doesn't get a dime from us.....
But I agree that eventually they will have to cave. I can't see Major League Baseball allowing them to keep cherrypicking....
It will be George who needs to cave. Charlie won't budge.
If George agrees to be on the same tier that all the rest of the RSN's are on then Dish would carry it. However George wants to be on the most basic tier. Thats not going to happen.
The ball is in George's court now.
