Why not into AT250?

If you have HD you get the HD version but you cannot get it on other SD receivers you have. Just the opposite of every other channel that has both SD and HD versions. Do you think they will change who gets the HD version to only those with AEP or Multi-Sports Pack?

 

[Andrewwski]

That's the thing. If one has AT250 + HD, they will get NHL Network in HD. But if they have standard receivers, they still won't get it on those receivers.

This sucks. I was happy when I seen they uplinked the SD version. Now i'm just pissed. Give it to the AT250 people. I don't want to upgrade to HD just yet just to get one channel I can't get in SD AT250. Don't want to get Center ICE.


Later,
