They do the same to us on NHL CI. We have to watch the game on the RSN, which sucks, because E* does not have MSG in HD, and many times the other team's feed is a HD version, and we can't watch that feed.

You can also get rid of the -1's on Food and HGTV channels on D*.
Also you might want to add 721-1 MLB-EI Strike Zone HD and 722-1 through 749-1 for MLB-HD and 795 through 799 for NASCAR HotPass HD channels. And StarzHD West is on 521
Thanks

E*'s website tells me that FSN Midwest and CSN Chicago are in HD. They are not according to my guide and E*'s customer service. I don't get it, what's going on? Below is the link.

The 61.5º versions uplinked yesterday are not available to subscribers yet.

I condensed your sports section. Let me know what you think. Just thought I would assist, not trying to step in your domain.
Hopefully I can check it out before I leave for work... excel is corrupt on this pc and I have the one I post these with booted into another OS right now and it is busy..

(can't find my office disc)Thanks, Tony. I'm glad that I found this site. I can't seem to get answers from customer service. Unfortunately, I have the 61.5 link. Any guess as to when I might get to see events in HD on Fox Midwest and CSN Chicago?
Channel 429 HD is CSN Chicago HD. It is not a 24/7 HD channel. Only live games are shown on the channel. The on screen program guide shows the next broadcast on 429 HD is Friday April 4 : Astros at Cubs.
I believe to see channel 429 HD on the screen program guide you must have a HD programming package.
I have been told by Dish customer service that channel 429 HD does not exist. I have received e-mails from Dish customer service stating that Dish does not have CSN Chicago in HD.
Thanks for the help. I do have the complete HD package, and it doesn't show up. The frusrtating part is the confusion with the folks at customer service.
To get CSN Chicago HD besides having an HD package you have to be in the Chicago DMA and have America's Top 100 plus or higher.
If you satisfy these requirements and you do not have CSN Chicago in HD something is very wrong.
The customer service people mean well they just do not have a clue. I try to keep in mind it is not their fault. They probably are not supplied with correct information and they receive inadequate training.
NBCU had put pressure on E* and other carriers to offer CNBC+ before the start of the summer Olympics. E* and NBCU have entered into an agreement to start coverage of SCI-HD, USA-HD, and another HD channel probably Bravo-HD. Dish carries every channel in SD except for the Chiller channel which was D* exclusive about year ago. The channel is widely available on 4DTV and other providers. There are no plans at this time to launch Chiller-HD. The plans have been delayed until further notice.
