There are no HD channels in the AT packages, you need to add either the HD package or HD free for Life as well.
I'm pretty sure you need to speak with a CSR about adding it and you must agree to autopay and paperless billing I believe it also requires a 2 year agreement. Once they get that squared away in the system, then you add it at mydish.com. (an option will appear after they add it in the system)
Big 10 is probably an RSN for you.
AXS was on when IFC was pulled. I believe the site has its logo in the BB@Home channels.
Veria is on free preview.
Sportsman Channel is in free preview and also part of the $3/month Outdoor Pack.
Blockbuster on 102 is most likely for all subscribers.
HDNet Movies was a replacement when AMC was pulled. However, last time I checked the site, Dish had it under AT200.
Dish discontinued the buy in back in January. You may be able to have it added if you were a subscriber before it was removed. I'd use the online chat or PM a DIRT member here to check for you.
any freeview you get the HD version regardless if you sub to HD or not
Veria
MavTV
Sportsman
are in HD in freeview right now

Except if you're located in Hawaii - and perhaps a few other spot beam locations. We do not get several stations in HD even though we have an HD package and DISH carries the HD feed.

Dish no longer offers the $99 option to get HD for free as mentioned. I'm still not certain why you thought a channel like RFD would be in HD if you don't pay for HD or obtain it under the Dish conditions.
Englewood, Colo. – March 28, 2011 – DISH Network L.L.C. today announced that RFD-TV's high-definition channel, RFD HD, is now available at no additional cost to all DISH Network customers who subscribe to the America’s Top 200 programming package or above.

Dude, you have to be kidding. That's not an agreement of services, it's marketing, using general terms. Companies say plenty of things that often are true, but within context. That is true, in the context of, you actually subscribe to get HD.
And you conveniently left out this part;
"Customers who currently receive RFD-TV a la carte will automatically receive the RFD HD channel. To learn more about DISH Network’s HD channel lineup, including eligibility requirements for the HD Free for Life offer, visit www.dish.com." Did you think I wouldn't read the whole thing?
And to head you off at the pass - what they said is true even in your terms - it's free in HD if you want it to be.

I should have said what RFD TV basically advertises ON AIR is "RFD HD, is now available at no additional cost to all DISH Network customers who subscribe to the America’s Top 200 programming package or above."
RFD TV says nothing on air about the rest.
Unfortunately, while it tells you it's free, it doesn't say you get it without qualifying for it by setting up the HD Free for Life promo.
The $5/month a la carte Heartland Package add-on has RFD (HD and SD) along with OWN (HD and SD), The Hub (SD and HD), Rural TV (currently SD only), Hallmark (SD and HD), Hallmark Movie Channel (SD and HD), gmc (currently SD only), Baby TV (currently SD only), Pixl (SD and HD), and GSN (SD and HD).
Heartland will give you the sd channels, you need the HD option added to get the HD ones. The OP does not have HD for Life.
Are you sure about that? I thought the standalone packages came with HD and SD regardless of base package?
Yes I am sure. The only HD channels you would get without the HD package would be your local HD channels and any taht are in free preview.
OK, I thought people were adding Heartland, Epix packages etc.. to Welcome package and getting the HD versions, but I don't keep up with it anymore.
