New Customer Stupid Question (Why do the channels repeat)

[pabeader]

there is an assumption there. are the SD channels even up in the 6000 oops, i mean 9000 range.

 

[dare2be]

assumption? TheList! shows them, and they aren't in my guide. See my example in post# 18. 4000 range, not 6000 or 9000.

That's good to know, Halo...the question remains, why don't they mirror the HD channels like they do the SD channels? Or rephrased...why are the high-numbered SD channels hidden but the HD ones aren't?

Maybe their equipment can't duplicate channel numbers, or it's done for the purpose of compatibility with SD/legacy receivers... I guess only the DISH engineers really know why... I wonder where on the Internet they hide?
