Probably because those RSN's were the cheapest ones. The RSN's that actually have HD programming may actually cost some money...

Instead of wondering when I might see FSN North in HD, I'm now more interested in knowing why we don't have it already. What's the holdup? No one seems to know.
My bill just went up 10 bucks and I didn't get squat! If that money is only being spent on "the cheapest ones" we are going to have a big problem here in NY.
: E* definition of soon is anytime between now and never.I heard a rumor that Dish can broadcast only 4 RSN events at a time on 129. If this is so, then Dish will not always be able to broadcast the RSN HD games available and they will have to make a decision on which games to show.
THAT will prove to be interesting...
This RSN situation is very confusing I do understand E* POV (very few HD events are produced) but it does make it very hard for us to know when we can watch events on either channel (FOXW and PRIME). I wish they could flash one of those popup info banners (like the do for their enhanced commericals) when you first tune to the SD channel telling you to press select to tune to HD broadcast. Also l4.03 still didn't fix the tuning issue/black screen on those two *fake* RSNs.
It's a good thing I casually watch sporting events (especially if there's a HD feed) and at least i'm not paying for any extra sports packages or i'd be mad.
Truth still remains, if your life revolves around sports, get D* otherwise E* is fine.

Yes, and only in MPEG-4. No rush to get it though. The next scheduled FSN SW HD game is Rangers/Yankees on May 2nd.
Confused!
I live in Rhode Island, and have the HD and Multi-Sport Packages. My EPG shows only Fox-FL HD and Sun HD, neither of which are available to me (blackouts). Why am I getting these listed if I cannot receive them. (Also, when am I getting my NESN HD?)

because you subscribe to sports pak you are seeing Fox Fl HD and Sun HD, just like you see all the channels on the SD side, but are blacked out on pro sports. You might eventually see something on the Fl HD channels I am not sure if either channel might show some college baseball in HD or other non pro sports in HD.
Unfortunatly Dish puts a 5 hr blackout window on the HD feed, so there is virtually no chance of catching the end of a long running baseball or hockey game
Well, it's been over 2 weeks since the 2 L.A. area HD FSN's have been on and they basically sit there, cluttering up my "All HD" program guide (which I can't edit for the unused channels like PPV and NBA). I think that there have been a grand total of 2 HD broadcasts (one for each FSN) over the two week period and one of them appeared to be ED, not HD.
The local non-network channels have had several baseball HD broadcasts -- channel 9 has had the last two Dodger away games in Arizona in HD this week. So what's with the RSN's? Are they dragging their feet on HD because they have exclusive rights to the games and figure fans will watch anyway?
