I can't remember if the actual date was released or not yet. I know originally Dish just said it will be available in late Summer. I just saw this today saying that it will launch August 14th.

Betting Dish will launch this channel at 408 since that current channel is moving to 439. It would make sense to because it would line up with BIGTEN,PAC12,and Longhorn network...
I wondered if it had been posted before. Dist just sent out some literature on it today on the Portal.
I just came across this. On the channel lineup card, it says it will be in HD on channel 408. It does say Longhorn Network will only be SD though. Interesting how the channel line up card has Longhorn Network as being "bold", meaning it is one of Dish's most popular channel.

The original press release stated that SEC Network would be on Top 120+ and above. The lineup card shows it is available on Top 200 and above. Did the literature state that it would still be available on 120+ and above?

I am very interested to know this as well. I can't tell based off of the guide because it lists PAC 12 as an HD channel, but we all know that is only for the games it is in HD. I know Dish is tight on bandwidth for HD channels and there was a thread a while back about the 8PSK conversion and how that would free up space. Haven't heard anything on that for a while. I was hoping that the conversion would have yielded more bandwidth so that PAC12 (and SEC Network if it is live game only HD) and some of the RSN's would be in HD full time by the start of college football season.
