Cool. Now viewers will be able to see the details and sparkle of that fake diamond ring better
Investigation Discovery is one of my favorite channels, but I'm not sure how much HD would improve it.
I hope they don't start making new HD "reality shows" to fill the schedule like the History Channel is doing. That really dilutes the reason for watching the channel.

If a new channel is not appearing in my guide, do I need to call Dish to get a CSR to ping my box or can will rebooting fix the problem? (I'm at my folks and they have Classic Gold 250, and MSNBC-HD is not appearing.)
Most of us have had to call when this happens.
It seems to be occurring more and more. I had to call when Bet HD and then Fox HD was launched but MSNBC showed up as HD without incident.

Yeah, it would. It's too bad she's not on ID. Now I could see some benefit for Discovery Health going HD.
How about a channel that does nothing but Prostate exams and Proctology exams in HD? THey could call it: Bottoms Up -HD.
Thanks. I tried a reboot first, but it didn't do anything. I wasn't sure how to do a 'check switch', but when I called Dish, it was one of the things the CSR had me do. After viewing several setup and diagnostic screens, she had me reboot and then sent a signal to install an update to the software (she advised to leave the box off for about 30 minutes, so I went out to lunch). The software was on version L618, and the bulletins she found indicated L621 is current. When I turned it back on later, it was still on version L618. However, MSNBC-HD is now available in the guide, so I guess we did something right. I also had to reload the Guide (approx 5 minute process), so I know there was a software re-load, even if a newer version didn't boot.
The software version has nothing to do with what programmimg you can view. She sent the receiver a "hit" which re-authorized programming. The biggest difference I've found between 618 and 621 is being able to name folders/group. And also, 621 may be the most current version, but all receivers don't have it yet. 2 out of 3 of mine do. They rollout the update gradually. Gives them time to check for bugs.
How can you get the three new HD channels?? those channels will not be available untill
7/22/09.
Sadly, by the time Discovery Health goes HD; it will be [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OWN:_The_Oprah_Winfrey_Network"]OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia@@AMEPARAM@@/wiki/File:OWN_Network.png" class="image"><img alt="OWN Network.png" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/73/OWN_Network.png/200px-OWN_Network.png"@@AMEPARAM@@en/thumb/7/73/OWN_Network.png/200px-OWN_Network.png[/ame].
