I think they do that for you, you just have to remember to go to them.

Usually not. When they add a new channel, then it is placed in the guide automatically, including your own favorites list. When they open already existing channels for you to view, it is usually not added to your own favorites list

Hmmm,
Maybe I'm thinking of New Channels, like you mentioned .....

Then again, I thought that the premium channels would show up in the guide when it's in Freeview, but could be wrong.

Every time I received a free preview of something I had to add those channels to my favorites myself. But when a new channel comes on, like BET HD, it was automatically added to my favorites even though I did not have the SD version on my list to begin with

This is probably a stupid question but will NHL Center Ice be in HD or just SD? Showtime doesn't really have any movies anymore..if I see Superhero Movie one more time I don't know what I'd do.

No difference in the number of HD games between subscribers and free preview viewers.

Here is the TV schedule:

On March 2nd alone, 12 of the 16 telecast are in HD, which constitutes 9 of 10 games

The NHL channels show in the guide but I have them hidden in my favorites (along with them shopping channels)

For some odd reason the 780 channels aren't showing up on my ancient Hughes receiver. We subscribed to MLB Extra innings years ago, but maybe they werent on that high of a number? Anyway, the game is in the clear on FSN Pittsburgh on 659....but annoying. When I try to go straight to the channel it says unavailable.
