You have to pay to get any of the HD channels-even those in the AT packages-you just have to pay more for the premium channels-why should they not be able to count the premium channels? I think it is fine to count a channel if it is available nationwide and you can pay for it in the monthly subscription. As long as everyone can get it, it should be counted. Therefore, HBO, Big Ten Network should be part of the count because they are available. I can even see counting one RSN per customer because everyone can buy the sports pack and at least get College games in HD on FSN.
