On HD RSNs and college football

[BlackHitachi]

Just a general question to anyone who may know about the RSNs. Will they be on spotbeams? Or will those of us with the sports mutipack be able to get the other RSNs?

Boy i sure hope they are not on spots!! Seems like Dish would put them on concus that way they could use those feeds for gameplan and so on.
HOOKEM HORNS!

This article gives some insight on FSN's plans for football... that doesn't mean that we'll get to see it, of course.

From pbrown's article:

FSN HD is carried nationally by DirecTV and a handful of regional operators. The first HD national telecast will be Sept. 2, the Pac-10 matchup Utah at UCLA.

So what is FSN HD? Is it a separate channel? Is it a service that might take over the HD Special Events channel when games are on?

Arrgh . . . the first game is the UCLA game, that's in two days, and right now I'll be watching in SD, KNOWING that there's an HD feed that will probably be uplinked next week.

And now that the weekend is over I'd like to officially thank Dish Network for not airing my football game in high-definition.

Arrgh.
