From Dish Network's Press release: " Subscribers to America's Top 100 package (or above) with DishHD receive NHL Network HD free on Channel 403."
Heres a question. My dad doesn't have HD, but desperately wants the NHL Network. He isn't planning on getting a HD set for at least a year (possibly next hockey season). Now, if he gets the VIP622 will he be able to get the NHL Network without getting the HD package? He does have center ice and if I read the press release correctly, the NHL Network is included with the CI package. He can't see paying for the HD package if he doesn't have the HD package (even though he'll get the HD package free for 6 months w/dish'n it up).
Is this saying that if I get a HD receiver, but don't have a HD television and don't subscribe to the HD package I could get the NHL Network? Right now I have a SD television, the Dish Family pack, and NHL Center Ice? If I'm right, I'll upgrade to a HD receiver right away just to get the channel. I have the dish for 61.5.
A dish HD receiver can send a standard definition picture of all SD and HD channels you receive to your regular TV.
(that is the end of that thought. The rest of this comment has nothing to do with this first part)
To receive HD channels on a Dish HD receiver you must subscribe to the HD channel or at least proper package. In this case NHL Network requires either AT100+HD or NHL Center Ice with the HD enabling fee of $6 a month.
Does that help?
See ya

So does anyone think that Dish will add a SD feed of NHL Network? I read on another forum somewhere (maybe this one) that Directv will be adding a SD feed in 2008? Does anyone think Dish will follow suit? Or are they going to force us to get a HD receiver?
I dont' see a reason they wouldn't. IMO, that channel is not enough to draw a bunch of fans to a HD package. They'll get the ones willing to switch by offering more HD games on CI.
I can't agree more. BTW the HD feed on the NHL Network is quite good. Almost makes me wonder, why did I get the NHL CI Package, only to have to watch many games in SD, when I could have just watched NHL on the Fly Final each night.
Am I missing something? I have been watching this channel for a week now on like 559 just above NHL CI and it says HD. However, none of the content has been HD, instead it is all shown with the bars on the sides..I realize the 1992 playoff games may not be HD, but when they are showing me the nights highlights, I would expect those in HD since I know I watched the game in HD...what gives, am I on the wrong channel, which then also means Dish is giving me the wrong info by putting the HD on the guide for the channel.
That's the HD feed - just some of the highlights are not HD even if the feed was available in HD.
