My 'backup' is at work. Argh! I set my timer for normal FSC hoping that maybe it would tune to '149' and get the HD version, but I know I will be disappointed, wont I?

Villa-ManU is 16x9 upconverted from 576i, just like the ESPN2-HD broadcasts of 10am matches.

Just as with those, it looks very close to HD, but is 576.

It's an interesting question as to whether the "map down" will work for a timer that existed prior to the map down...

Am I right in thinking FSC HD is only available to Americas Top 250 + HD? By my calculation that would be $28/month over my TurboHD Silver (+DVR) (From $52 I pay now to $80/mo). That being the only station I really want (but I do, really want it...)...I don't know if I can bring myself to up my bill quite that much.
 
More channels coming? Or are these for Alaska and Hawaii?

The only ones possible for Alaska and Hawaii would be the two on 110. With a six foot dish I can see all of the HD on 129, but if Dish doesn't add them to our package they show up as red in the guide and are not available. Expecting to see a lot more red when I get home after todays uplink report. Congrats on all the new HD today.

Foxsccoer.tv could be an option if you don't mind watching on your computer and if FSC is all you want, more games available than the channel shows. $15 a month and you only need it during the season instead of having 250 all year long.

The CSR's at Dish insist we are all dumb here:

(04-03rf) Joann M. G0C: I do apologize the forum is wrong and the official release is at 5 PM eastern

Well we could both be right. They can be up and live now, but not officially realeased until 5PM EST (In previous uplinks it hasn't been official until the next day and CSRs had no information until then, so i'd call this an improvement.)
 
Is there a reasonable guess as to a time frame when these new channels will be made available to the rest of us. SOON is not an acceptable response but if you must...:)

I don't think so. Dish moving the replacement Sat to 61.5 is dependent on FCC approval. So all that can be said is that it won't happen until then and you have to add in travel time. So it likely won't be a quick fix. :(
 
What HD Channels were released today? What HD Channels will be released tomorrow or did they release them all today?Ty for any replies:)
