If it appears on either of those channels, it is likely only on at game times, not as a full time channel.
MPEG2 temoporary RSN feeds of games that are in HD and available to DirecTV have been showing in the 90's for a while. That is what I think the DirecTV CSR was telling you that you are currently setup for.
What I think you are referring to is the rumor that the RSN's HD channels will be popping up sometime in the near future. If & when that happens, I think these other users are telling you that those new channels will more than likely be MPEG4 and require an AT9/H20 setup, and that although they will carry HD content, not all of that channel's content will be 24/7 HD; like ESPN.
No one knows for sure right now which "full-time HD" RSNs will be coming online, when or how. (note this does not mean all HD content)

It's not really a rumour, quite a few mpeg 4 part time rsns appeared july 1st, exactly which ones no one seems to have a confirmed list for. NESN was supposed to go live fulltime July 1st but stil hasn't.

That's what was meant; the who, what, where and when of specific RSNs, are rumors until it goes live; not RSNs in general.
FSN Bay Area now on ch 96 in HD
Last Night, the Oakland-Detroit baseball game was on ch 96 in full HD resolution for the first time. The picture was great but there was no sound. Still some bugs to work out. My H20 mpeg 4 receiver was able to pick up the broadcast but not my mpeg 2 receivers, so the downlink definitely came from the 103 ka sat by spotbeam which also has the LIL networks in HD for the San Francisco Bay Area. Ch 96 is not in use this morning as it only comes on if there is an HD broadcast. I wonder how many other RSN's in addition to Atlanta and San Francisco are now on spotbeam ch 96 if the game is in HD?

Based upon zip code, would Macon, Columbus, Valdosta, Savannah, and/or Waycross be included in the spot beam?
I would image that at some point the radius of the spot would weaken...I'm just curious how far from Atlanta the spot is effective.
I know for a fact that the Atlanta spot beam stops in Lamar County. Macon, Columbus and everything else would be too far south and east. For west Georgia, I think the beam ends in Carroll County just before or alittle after the Alabama border. Not sure for the Northern area!
