RSN HD Feed question

[atp1313]

Got the 5LNB installed today, so I should now be able to receive my local RSN HD feeds (FSN South and SportsSouth), right? The Braves/Phillies game Friday night was supposedly shot/presented in HD, but I was unable to get it. I tried tuning to the SD channel since I had read on the D* site that some RSN HD feeds are simulcast on the same channel as SD. The D* site also says I should try tuning to Channels 95, 96 or 97 to get my RSN HD feed. My box is telling me that Channel 97 doesn't exist or isn't paid for (Error 721). The CSR's I have spoken to don't seem to know what the problem is...can anyone fill me in? Is there some additional settings I need to tweak on my HR20-700 to make the 90's appear as "real" channels?

Thanks in advance for any help...

Yeah, I read that on the D* site as well. But if my local sports team is playing a game broadcast in HD, shouldn't I get it? I mean if it were a matter of blackouts, I shouldn't be getting the SD feed at all, so why not the HD feed, too?

Is this "HD Access" an additional programming requirement on top of having the HD programming and the Sports Pack? Or is that simply another name for the HD programming I am already paying for?

yep, but it shouldn't affect your rsn hd programming. if you have your hd locals (mpeg4), your rsn should broadcast hd games on either channels 95 or 96.

I recall seeing somewhere that FSN has limited HD capabilities and can't cover all games in HD. I know that for the Mariners, only home games which are carried on FSN SD will also be in HD on channel 96. Sometimes the same games are also on 95. I believe that 97 is used for areas which are fortunate enough to have two RSNs.
