does it look like dish is getting ready to offer the hd distants, when they have to shut off the sd distants, dtv allows you to subscribe to the hd distants if your local dma does not offer hd. hmmm?

Looks like it is only a cleanout of some of the 95XX, 96XX, 98XX and 99XX numbers.BobMurdoch said:

Yea, they readded the engineering channels in the 58xxs.
As for NESN and other RSNs that do a lot of HD, they might be waiting until they can get a full-time HD channel up for those so they wont have to compete and share the 4 available video feeds. Of course YESHD has a snowballs chance in hell of showing up

I have had my fingers crossed all along hoping that the reason E* never gave out HD distants was because they wanted to ensure that the qualifications for HD and SD could never be associated together. Then if they lose the SD they can start offering HD as those have never been under the old qualificaiton system. Also this would also help out E* as there are more people that would qualify for distants though HD as there are for SD. Plus to get distants would require an HD receiiver. But this is of course just my hope and not likely to happen.

FSD did make an announcment regarding Pistons and Wings HD..Im pretty sure it was all home games, both teams.. Woudnt swear to it..Either way there was an announcment of at least some HD for both teams..
That announcment can be found Im sure, but I dont have the time to dig it up...Its over at "the other site", somewhere in the HD RSN master thread.

Yeah, really! Considering that we are one of the largest markets to yet get HD LiLs, that is the least they could have done. Who cares... we've got Lebron and the maximum allowed nationally broadcasted games!! WOO-HOO!
Go Bucks
Go Browns
Go Cavs
Question about the nomenclature:
I know that the prefix TST must mean those particular channels are for testing purposes. But, what do the other non-channel-name abbreviations mean, such as SKDL, IAD, SMP, SPEC, etc.
I've been wondering that ever since I got an FTA system, and these channel names come up on the scans. The actual channels are scrambled, of course. So, I've been curious.

SKDL Schedule. Holding channel for non-carried sports or event programming, such as YES Network for the NBA League Pass.
SPEC seems special.
IAD Interactive ADvertising thingy.

OK, I am wrong on FSN Detroit. The plans for Wings andPistons are out, we need Detroit in HD. These are both regular playoff and highly viewed teams.
From Pistons.com:
FSN Detroit will televise the most Pistons games - 37 regular season and three preseason contests - and all regular-season home games and select road games will be produced in High-Definition.

This is all great news. I can't wait for ATT to get off their arse, and rollout HomeZone in my nape of the neck already! The addition of FSN-BA in HD, plus the additional HD content such as InHD, means the only thing I'll miss about Comcast is the amazing OnDemand. I'll just have to be a little more on top of DVRing the various HBO series I've gotten used to watching OnDemand, is all.
I'm sure we'll have to be subscribed to the SD versions to get the HD versions, right? That kind of sucks. Oh, well. I guess there's not a whole lot on mine that I would watch other than college football replays. I tried to sign up for the sports pack once only to find out it wasn't available in my area. The CSR didn't tell me that. She just signed me up for AT60+ instead of AT60. I'm not paying $5/month just for 2 channels.
ok i saw CSNMA. which is my RSN on ch 424. is this the HD version of that b/c it would be GREAT to get my wizards games in HD. sorry, i didnt really know what i was looking at and thats why im asking
