Super Stations in Hd?

[blanquitoman1984]

Not sure but would like to know if super stations are available in HD? I now have the Welcome Pack but would like to know if I add a super staion will it be in HD?

If it is, which would you pick?
Which is worth the money?

The superstations are not in HD... You don't add just one station, it's all or none. The price is the same.

No the superstations are not available in HD as a A-la-carte selection, I've asked about this to Dish but get no good response about it.
And I believe under the A-La-Carte section in the account area, if you have on-line account, you can get 1 superstation for $2.00 month if you want. It is only in SD. Or all 5 for $7.00, all in SD and NOT HD. This is what I did, added 1 for $2.00 month, for the one show I watch on the CW, Supernatural, as the CW in my area converted to a FOX affiliate.

So they are all really CW stations?

 

[Mr Tony]

no 3 of them are CW
WWOR-My Network
WPIX, KTLA, KWGN-CW
WSBK-Indy (but going to My in September)

 

[blanquitoman1984]

Thank You for the response.

Did I read that wwor was showing up in hd?

Just if you are under the surrounding NYC market Conn, Mass, RI. It's under Spotbeam 3.

You can have only one channel if you want. It costs $2 per channel. I only have WPIX.

And still is!

I only get wwor and wpix

 

[DishSubLA]

In many markets, including Los Angeles, if one is attempting to get Superstations, TODAY, Dish will only provide the 3 CW stations (owned by Tribune).

 

[The Fat Man]

Correct me if I'm wrong. but I think that WWOR is the only way to see some small regional broadcasts of the Yankees for Dish subs, and WPIX is the only way to see the Mets, or did the Yankees go all YES and Mets go all SNY like many other teams. Also, thanks for the info on WSBK, Iceberg, goes to show how often I pay attention to 38 or My Network TV.

WSBK-Indy (but going to My in September)

First time I've heard this. I guess Boston's default affiliate, WBIN-TV out of New Hampshire, didn't cover the market well enough, driving FOX to ask CBS to take the affiliation for Boston.

 

[johnissoevil]

You won't get the Superstations in HD outside of where their spotbeams cover. Would be nice to get My9 and PIX 11 in HD like I used to back in Jersey, but I take them as they are.

Both teams show a limited amount of games on their respective stations.

I have PIX 11 in SD, but WGN (Chicago) in HD. I know it's not in the superstation pkg, but isn't it still considered a superstation? I'd really love PIX in HD though

 

[Peter Parker]

WGN is not considered a superstation anymore. they stopped calling themselves one some time ago.

Thanks, I wasn't sure. I had a 50-50 chance of guessing & still blew it

 

[johnissoevil]

Yeah, both WGN and TBS converted themselves from Superstations to your run of the mill basic cable channels, WGN America did so because of Syndex keeping them from airing CW and other syndicated programs that you would see on WGN-TV 9 in Chicago, TBS did so when WTBS 17 out of Atlanta became WPCH and Time Warner split off the TBS cable feed from being a simulcast of WTBS/WPCH. But having my favorite late night host, Conan, does make TBS a "super station" in another way, IMO.
