Nope not DISNEY XD. :) You already have DISNEY XD in HD, you just have to watch it online, buts included with your DISH Subscription. :)
Well, not in my Dish subscription, since I have Welcome Pack. However, I also have Directv's Family package, so you are correct: I already have Disney XD in HD. :)

can u give us a clue scott what is it?
You listed the other two channels, matching Scott's description, in post number 61.

Where did you get DirecTV will be all HD? I highly doubt that EVERYTHING will be by then. Plus they plan on using some space for linear 4K content, what ever that might be.

Back in 2012 Philip J. Goswitz, DIRECTV's Senior Vice President for Space and Communications stated all standard-def channels would be converted to HDTVby 2016 using local-into-local Ka Band capacity.

I wouldn't count on it. A lot can change in 4 years time, not to mention AT&T is at the helm of DirecTV now.
As for your wish for Dish to make EVERYTHING HD, they can't now, as it is, they don't have the capacity on the Western Arc to do so, even considering the 8PSK conversion.

I am not sure, I didn't say it wasn't, what I did say is even with the completion of the conversion to all 8PSK on the western arc, there is still not enough bandwidth to launch EVERY HD feed that is available.

i understand no problem at all do you think it will a while before dish will go all hd.i counted over 50 channels minus the rsns that have hd feeds that are not added in hd. also i wanted to know why does dish only do 1 new hd channel every month could they add a three or four a month.with that viacom possible dispute going on i hope that gets resolved so we can see nickjr,teenick and nicktoons all in hd.

Directv has said and is scheduled to be all HD. Original timetable was by the end of 2016 but there are signs it may be earlier.

i did not know about that link thanks for sharing that for us maybe if dish would know about this they could do something.they are missing 50 or more channels that have hd feeds.i would like to see dish go all hd in the near future.once dish goes all hd maybe they should add some 4k channels also.i am planning on buying a 4k tv for christmas and i will be happy if dish would add some 4k channels to their lineup.
