It is a CW channel and I think it is only available in HD OTA. There are only a few CW's in HD on sat right now.
 
thanks for the replies..I just tuned channel 9465 but a message appears on the screen saying "this is a special event not available for purchase"...
 
21 has never been CW. CW is on 33. 33 is in HD on Dish now. I dont see 21 coming to Dish in HD anytime soon as its an independent.

Put up an antenna.

Yes, channel 21 in Dallas is an independent called KTXA. It used to be a UPN affiliate, but is now owned by CBS.

Dallas Mavericks Games on HDNet

wow a whopping 5 games, that's pretty pathetic.

Looking at the Mavs tv schedule, there are 23 games left that will be shown on KTXA, with HDNET only showing 5 of those. That's a bummer... I have struggled setting up any antenna where I live, so I think the OP and I are SOL; unless of course the OP can put up an antenna... In which case, screw you guys, I'm going home...
 
Excuse me

Sorry I thought that they had converted from UPN to CW. So with them being independent it is very unlikely that they will wind up being on E* until the gov says that all locals have to be on sat. I believe that is sometime in 2013.

Even if all locals are required to be on satellite, that doesnt mean they have to be broadcast in HD. Ch 21 is already on Dish, just not in HD.
