    Public Interest channels now in HD-only package

    ADVERTS 1
    I have the HD-only package, which up until tonight has not included the P.I. channels (9400-9417), at least on my receivers. Now those channels are available to me. The guide information is almost entirely missing, which is always the case with new additions (and I did see the two threads about the program guide problems--this isn't due to that).

    Those channels were always available to HD-only on request (and after playing CSR roulette!). But it is interesting to see that they are now being added automatically!

    See ya

    They should only exclude them from the family pack automatically

    Also appear to be included (perhaps some of them on free preview - not sure) the following SD-only channels:

    NASA-TV, DOC, GAME, BRAVO, TCM, VS., shopping channels, religious channels, Chinese CCTV9, etc.

    Ilya, those extra ones are this month's free previews. When the free preview is over in a couple of weeks they will go away from the HD only pack.

    See ya

    That's unless some of them (like Bravo) go HD.

    PI channels are avalable to anyone with DISH.
    As said above you may need to insist on this but you can receive them. I've had them since I have been with DISH for many years, with several package combinations; AT packages, Family package and now with the HD only package.

    Enjoy

    Exactly! When I switched to dishHD (only) I only had the NASA PI Channel. I just never got around to playing CSR roulette to get the others switched on. Thanks Dish for fixing this automatically

    Same with me. I had all of them (well, the ones on 110 & 119) when I had AT200 and later AT100, but after switching to dishHD I only had NASA.
