Cincinnati Reds game tonight on channel 427 in SD only. I could not find it anywhere in HD. DIRECTV did have it on in HD though. What is the problem with DISH? They treat the sports viewers as second class citizens...
Games in HD but not on Dish in HD (Part time HD)

It seem that the Astros vs. Pirates Ch. 446 in SD only. But the RSN for PIT is in HD but it is not in my RSN. Very frustrating. What gives?
All the Reds games are in HD this year. I just left Directv and started up with Dish. I assumed if the games were in HD that Dish would have them in HD. (like Directv does) I was wrong. I am not happy and I hope things change. (though right now the Reds look bad in HD and SD.)
I'm sticking with annoying because their coverage this season has been markedly better than the amount of HD they offered last season.
I would have to disagree. I am calling DISH ASAP about CSN Chicago in HD. Also FSN Midwest. Four and counting Sox and Cubs games missing in HD, plus Cubs tonight & Sox tomorrow may be missed. or Royals and Milwaukee coverage. I kept DISH for the Dvr's, also going up in 4 months aftter the discount. No White Sox games in SD. Pathetic so far this year. Full-time CSN Chicago please...
I live in the Bay Area and Comcast and Direct TV showed Sun. Giants game on time. It's unacceptable. Also game 5 of the Sharks wasn't in HD till half way tru the second period. Also unacceptable
Looks like the sharks game is missing in HD tonight too! http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-forum/210691-sharks-game-channel-409-hd.html
Dish can give 2 Shi*'s about sports in HD. Its sad when they cant even address their own customers and cant even launch the channels they want! Im sure there were thousands upon thousands of requests for ShortsHD! They were so overflowing in requests they had to meet the demands of their customers!

Dish has played CSN+ HD games before, They were just stuffed in w/ the RSN alts.

There is no Sharks game tonight. They closed out the series in Colorado on Saturday and are awaiting their next opponent.
However, Phillies @ Giants on CSNBA is not in HD, it's not even JIP.
Post #110 is showing up as being posted "today" on my end. If it was from Saturday, my apologies.
I just did a live chat to voice my displeasure with the lack of the game in HD. (Just s Dish would get feedback) The CSR's explanation was that CSNBA was not allowing Dish to transmit the game in HD.
Needless to say, that got me a little fired up. I wasn't expecting it to be fixed. Just wanted to provide feedback. But lying to me about it... bad move. When I called the CSR on the lie, he adamantly assured me that it was contractual and CSNBA's choice. So I just finished contacting Comcast. When i hear back from them I'm going to fire off an email to CEO about being misled by a CSR.
That bothers me a hell of a lot more than the game not being on in HD. It's fine if they don't want to show their games in HD. If it gets to the point where it bothers me enough, I can always switch. BUT, to lie to me about why it's not being shown in HD is unacceptable. Dish, you have to own up to your choices, you can't go blaming someone else.
UPDATE: Just got a prompt reply from CSNBA, They confirmed that Dish has the right to carry all games in HD, they are simply choosing not to. Time to email ceo about how unacceptable it is that they have CSRs flat out lying to paying customers on this issue.

Don't take it personally, They're telling me the same lies too. CSR told me that they were just like the mailman and that they can only send HD signal when CSNBA sends it to them. I knew immanently that he was lying. Same BS/
