I googled "weathernationhd" because I have never heard of it and it turned up 4 results. All of them were posts from you on satelliteguys, facebook, and dbstalk.
Whats your deal?
About the only one from that list that might make is is Outdoor Channel HD, which has been in testing on DISH a few times.
FearNet HD has a very limited schedule and just repeats over and over.
WeatherNationHD hasn't launched yet
The Pentagon Channel HD launches in September and DISH already carries it in SD as a Public Interest Channel. I dont see DISH adding a HD Public Interest Channel.
GSN HD only has about an hour a day in HD. The rest of the shows are not in SD. (Although MatchGame 74 would be cooler in HD)
NASA HD while decent (I watch it on my C Band dish) does not have a large audience. DISH can see how many people are watching any channel and the low viewship makes it a waste of HD transponder space.

That would seem to follow. Looking at the announced launch schedules, the remaining slots situation isn't likely to improve any time soon.
Whether the number is accurate or not, I wouldn't recommend going after more than a couple of the most critical channels. This is in stark contrast to your blunderbuss approach of requesting everything extant and then some.
scott what does it mean when there are only six slots left?oh i talked to the vp of weathernation and this is what he told me in a email
Allen,
Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, our service is available in both HD and SD. We would be happy to provide our service to DirecTV or Dish Network, should and when they elect to carry it.

Having a website announcing a concept (with no mention of HD programming) and delivering 24/7 HD programming via one or more established carriers is two entirely different states of being.
edit: It appears that Weathernation TV has a contract with the National Cable Television Cooperative to carry their service in Q2 2011.

It will be available in both HD and SD. Its not on the air yet.
Six slots left means just that... it is estimated that 6 national HD channel slots are available in the bandwidth they have.

But do they....and is this like the iPhone and Android tracking your every move?
At least until they finish that 8PSK transition (unless it is already done).
Yes DISH does. (well not track your every move)
i did not know that they knew which channels we watch,learn something new everyday
