I just picked up the multisport pack so that I could get NHL HD. I have the HD pack. I have been watching NHL HD for a week now. When I got home from work today I put on NHL HD and the guide and banner both showed NHLHD but the programming was CNNHD. I tried the live chat on the dish site (I can post a transcript of that comedy if anyone wants a good laugh). Is anyone else getting CNNHD on 403 or 9450? I can get the SD version just fine on 403 standard, its just hte HD versions are showing CNNHD.
 
This was the customer service live chat I had about this, this is unedited except I can't post teh link that I had in the chat to the multisport pack web page, excuse the misspellings. He closed the chat at the end before I had a chance to further question him.

Please wait while we find a representative to assist you...

Thank you for visiting Dish Network. You may now close this window.
Your session has ended. You may now close this window.
 
As an aside, are the on-line tech support people managing multiple conversations at once and get them all confused with each other?

That, and I'm sure they have a few special keys that spits out irrelevent, thoughtless messages as answers.
 
so now I get my bill and they changed my HD package any my premiums, making the bill $130 insteald of $101. I just called and got it corrected but now I no longer have NHL HD. When I signed up it said you get NHL hd with the multisport pack. This is aggrivating, now I gotta call back and try to get NHLHD back.
