I have it on good authority that YES hd will go 24/7 at the beginning of baseball season.

Have you used the RSN tool for your zip? I tested 06460 and do not see any availability for HD RSN. Where do you see being eligible for HD RSNs and what is you actual zip? You can be in a RSN's area for SD only based on their zip codes database.

I think YES is on channel 96, but only for the NY dma, and only when there is an hd broadcast. NESN hd is on channel 623, but you must be in the Boston dma to get it.

Good question. I would think it would be spotbeamed until the new sats are up, like NESN hd is.

you have an 10% chance you can get it localy at bestbuy circuit city etc..
or you can call directv and get on the Wait list....

I got on the waiting list, I was just wondering why they had one? I would rather wait then pay best buys price.

It's not meant as an April Fool's joke. That's near the start of the baseball season, and that's when YES hd is supposed to go 24/7.

It's also the start of the month and the start of the second quarter of CY 2007, so it gives the bean counters a clean reference point for billing.

The wait list is no longer necessary. You can order HR20s from D*, either over the phone or on the website.
