List of HD Channels NOT Available on Dish Network: Version 2 Updated

[harshness]

The inclusion of nonexistent HD channels in the list is confusing. In particular, what's up with all of the listed Encore HD channels? AFAIK, none of them exist.

IMO, all channels that aren't broadcast in HD shouldn't be a part of this list -- a list that purports to be a run-down of DISH's non-carried HD channels. I would suggest that a separate reference list of channels not available in HD be established instead.

Why are some RSN's NOT 24/7? CSN Mid-Atlantic studios are HD but they rarely use them, at least with E*. 99.9% of the time they turn on the HD channel for sporting events only.

Limited bandwidth. Dish uses 2 transponders for HD RSNs. Thus, they can only hold 14-16 of the 26 of them at once. The only way I think we will see 24/7 HD RSNs is either after the Western Arc MPEG4 transition, or if they go on spotbeams.

I was going to say the same thing about Telemundo HD, Univision HD, and Telefutura HD. They are available in Los Angeles on Time Warner Cable.
