Could it be that the reason DISH is blacking out the RSN HD feeds for 8 hours every night is because Charlie's contracts with the RSN's are for part-time HD feeds, which could have lower license fees (than the 24-hour HD feeds) ???
Thus, he may be trying to dodge paying higher license fees for the 25 RSN's by keeping them "part-time".... Given DISH's long history of playing games with license fees (i.e.. Disney HD feeds) this idea just hit me tonight as a plausible reason for such a ridiculous non-logical action by DISH (ie. shutting down the HD feeds every night).....
Nonetheless, if this theory proves to be right, wouldn't the RSN programmers quickly cry "foul" as this being a violation of the "spirit" of the original contracts and force Charlie to pay up (for the upgraded feeds) ?

Yes, I later found that out. For crying out loud, what a sad attempt by TWC. If an MVPD takes the 30% offer, they have to be right back at the bargaining table in less than a year. Jeez!
I can confirm that on my VIP receiver that the SD channels were gone from "My Channels" guide on Wed then reappeared the following day. I can also confirm that Warriors midnight replay is only available in SD on my RSN...just as before. In fact if I punch in the channel number on the remote it will say that this channel is totally unavailable...Error 031.
Unlikely they just likely signed a new deal with most of the RSNs with the Fox settlement

there are about 2 to 4 RSN channels that need to be added from fox.they should be coming real soon right.
There is a guide setting that will show all of the SD duplicates (not just the RSNs) which is why I asked Tampa whether he had his guide set to hide or show SD feeds, since he never lost the SD feeds.
Apparently, there is no guide setting that can automatically hide these RSN SD feeds. So, if you wish to hide them, I would recommend going into the Locks, setting Channel Locks for the SD feeds, and then Hide the locked channels. That should remove them from the guide. This is not as convenient as having a setting to automatically remove them, but at least it is an option.
That does seem to confirm my theory that all HD receivers set to hide SD duplicates should have been affected.
After giving it some more thought, it did occur to me that there is a difference in the way the Hopper handles channel mapping, and it is not just because of the RSNs being on collapsible channel numbers. On the Hopper, all of the four-digit channels that have map-down channel numbers are hidden, so they only show up on the map-down channels, if you subscribe to them. (There are still four-digit channel numbers in red on the All Channels list.) On older receivers, the channels you receive show up on both channel numbers. So I suppose that it is also possible for a change like this to only affect Hoppers, although I don't know why Dish would make such a change.
Are you sure about that? I know Wiki isn't always 100% correct, but according to it, SNY "is a joint venture between the New York Mets (which owns a controlling 65% interest), Time Warner Cable (which owns 27%) and Comcast (which owns 8%)."
Dish already carries other Root Sports stations so that shouldn't be a sticking point, more likely $$$ is the issue.
