Hey everybody. I have made several updates to this list and included the superstations and a Foreign Channel Import list. I hope that the few tweaks and updates I've made along with more cleaned up weblinks make this a nice source for everybody.

Are you sure about Fox News. I thought only FX and Speed were mentioned?

**HDRoberts** · 01-16-2009 07:17 PM

Thanks for the update. Much prefer they way they are broken down. Great information for the few foolhardy ones who think there isn't that much HD left to add. A few notes

-As mentioned, Fox News was never officially mentioned by Dish
-When did Black TV News Channel get announced? I saw it on AVSforum, but never saw their source, either.
-Fashion TV might fit better in the foreign import section

You can add Fox Sports Wisconsin to the list of RSNs that are not 24/7 HD. They show a bunch of the Milwaukee Brewers/Bucks games in HD, but Dish has "game only" coverage of them, so as soon as the post game show is over, so is the alternate channel.

**sdschramm** · 01-16-2009 09:06 PM

Don't forget to add just about all of Dish's HD locals to that list - as they add locals on a spot beam that doesn't cover 98% of the area. Or at least the my area (Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, PA) this is true. Just search my posts and you'll see what I mean....as well as everyone else with same issuse as me. And the thing is, Dish has NO intention to fix their problem!!!

While I feel your pain, this list is about NATIONAL HD. There is a separate list for local.

And you are using a bit of hyperbole. The spot covers around half DMA. I suspect it may be fixed with Quetzsat-1 around 2010. Little comfort for you, know, though. Really they should put your locals on 77W CONUS, as other locals are now going there.

But please continue the conversation about local in the local thread. DBS just recently updated that list as well.

DBSOgre: nice bit of work, thanks.

Yeah, why do we have to be forced to watch the Minnesota programming.

How difficult could it be to add FSN Wisconsin, and let us have OUR Sports.
