Got home nice to see ESPNU in HD!

480p widescreen is part of the ATSC standard it's known as EDTV, hardly anybody uses it, but it would look much better than stretch-o-vision, pillarbox or letterboxed channels.

It sure would be nice if the local CW subchannel was 480p widescreen.

I was told not right now. Which to me says don't be surprised to see it later in the year.

How about Goalline and Buzzerbeater?

Dish has quite a few receivers to still replace on Western Arc. Eventually they will be able to upgrade the arc and have a lot more capacity for HD.

I'm happy to get those channels in HD . It's a nice spring bonus.

I see they removed a Brazil religious channel(602) to make some room.

I'm seeing the channels, but the guide data beyond the next hour shows No Information.

Rey, watch this all the way through... but replace the work SONG with THREAD. (And make sure you watch it all the way through!)

I will probably shoot myself if I have to listen for that long, That's annoying, My sister used to love that show when she was 4

So, how are those new channels doing for you guys?

This will take care of itself in the next day or so, whenever your receiver reboots or gets a guide update.

I remember this as being one of the few SD channels on Dish where the PQ looked really bad. So, I am sure the HD feed is amazing to have now.

As a current Dish Latino sub, I do not get ESPN U. However, I was wondering about package placements for the channels. It seems as everything stayed the same as where the SD counterparts were. I did read on Facebook that a DishLatino Max sub was not getting ESPNews in HD. However, now that I think of it, was that one made available in HD, yet?

Are any Dish America subs getting any of the new channels? I was wondering if ABC Family, Disney (East), ESPN U, etc. would be added or added again to the channel lineup?

Yes and espn news was horrible in sd as well!

 

[satjay]

It's the day after, and half a million views on this thread, are we still celebrating

 

[Foxbat]

Actually, I meant to say, no DisneyXD in HD? Seems odd that got left out.

It is interesting that now a guide update does not require a reboot. It just does it in the background while you watch or transfer.
