231 appears to be a mirror of 9398 - both SD,

I do not see RFD in HD. It's regular channel 231 is only SD. 9398 is not available to me. My guide goes from 9393 to 9399 with nothing between. It may be coming "soon."

well i don't think Dish has RFD HD yet. i think this might be a person you had the conversation with doesn't even know his stuff as a Dish Employee, i seen this happen before as many people have mentioned it in this site.
