Uplink Report - Sept 5th

Wow! What a nice suprise this morning. Assuming the HD RSN's will share time, how do you think they'll make the programming available? Will it be available to anyone who subscribes to their SD RSN? Will there be an option to purchase all HD RSN's in a package?

And most importantly, will any of these be live for the next national HD CFB game?

It looks like it will defeat the purpose if they add my local HD feed on a satellite that they didn't give me!!!!!

Help please...

Hey General, I was born & raised in Fayette.

You will have to add a 61.5 for FSS. If you want to keep 129, you would have to add a DPP44 switch also.

As always, it is best with Dish to have as many orbital slots as possible.

Hmmm Did anybody notice there were mostly FOX HD RSN"s I wonder if there is a deal going on somewhere........

Cool to hear that you're from Fayette, mwgiii!!!

Not cool to hear that I can't get my regional HD sports feed!!!! Surely I am not the only customer that they gave a dish 1000 to in the south region! How much does it cost to get dish to add all that stuff? (61.5 dish, cabling, and switch)

What about the ones that want their Hockey in HD. Give me either FoxOH or FoxCN. Spring will be to late.

I really would like to be corrected if I am wrong, but for those of us who are looking for FSN Midwest HD on Dish...We will need to keep looking until spring, won't we?

Even tho all Red Sox games home and away are in HD, and baseball is finishing up, NESN still does all Bruins home games and 75% of the road games in HD. That plus all the other HD programs. Maybe they are still working on a deal. they added FSN NewEngland but all they will have is Celtic home games, and college football.

Well be nice to see them add the FSN HD..

**BobMurdoch** · 09-07-2006 11:47 AM

I wonder what was up with the NYC broadcast networks being added then removed on 61.5?

I too am hoping for SNY in HD as I never watch the MSG or FOX NY channels anymore, but I understand as the Mets season is winding down....

Now we'll see how bad the PQ looks after these adds.....

Wow..What a huge dissapointment..

I'm disappointed too, but FSN has made no announced plans to offer RedWings or Pistons in HD this season. Only HD we get is MY20 for Pistons - and that's not on dish either.

I'd expect it to launch in the second batch before MLB starts 2007. FSN starting offering Tigers in HD mid-season is unusual, most likely a sign of how nobody expected the Tigers to play as well as they have.
