Welcome to HD RSN's from Dish Network! Where Dish has decided not to dedicate enough TP space to broadcast all of the HD games available on HD RSNs!!
Sorry for the sarcasm but this issue ticks me off. Dish has plenty of TP space to show every single HD RSN game but they have made a decision not to dedicate enough of their TP space so some games are shown only in SD.

That's a load of crap! I was lead to believe that if the game was available in HD then it would be on (Fox Sport Midwest HD), but if the program was just SD then it wouldn't be on (talking the TurboHD packages that is).
I didn't really notice this last year. They showed almost all of the HD games for STL last season.
FYI, tomorrow night's game won't be in HD on Dish.

Just joined this forum to get answers to this same issue. What is the deal with this? Are any cards games going to be on in HD, how will we know? According to Dan and Al its on in HD right now, but its not! I just upgraded my packaged to Turbo HD Silver just to get FSN for the games. There better be some games on in HD.
There will be games in HD but the problem is some of them produced in HD will only be shown in SD on dish. And here's the kicker, you won't know which ones will be in SD until the day of the game. Finally, if you call Dish and complain that the game is not being shown in HD they will have no clue what you're talking about and will not be able to help you.
I would rather listen to the Cards on AM radio then ever watch Chokago cubs. I did hear Dan Mclaughlin say the other night that 100 games would be in HD. I would assume that means the local ones aren't? Not sure on that as I live in cub country and don't get the ksdk ones.
This really makes me mad, especially since they've added transponder space this year but now seem to be showing fewer games in HD. Last year, this was not a problem, when FSNMW reported it would be in HD, it was. Why is it different this year? Are they giving priority to larger markets for the HD-RSN space?
Heck, even Charter customers got the game in HD, not to mention D* and U-Verse.
I could be making this up, but I thought I heard late last year that RSNs were going 24/7 HD this year, even if all content (every game, etc.) was not going to be HD. Guess I either made that up, or... Nah, too easy.
D* likes them some full-time HD RSNs. E* has a more limited appetite. Why? I have no earthly idea. It's not like they're filling the transponders with national HD programming.
Yes, E* does short change sports fans, but it is the Cards. I could get the game in Morse code and be happy as a clam. GO REDBIRDS.
I also like to watch the Cubs blow games. I caught the 10th inning last night. That was great.

I have the same problem with the Seattle Mariners not being showed in HD on FSN although all games are available in HD.
again.....aim low. Expect every game in SD, so that when they sprinkle in an HD game it'll be like winning the lottery!!!
