They are for the HD OTA EPG.
People who receive these local channels via antenna using a 622 or other HD receiver can now see the HD channel and the sub-channel guide in the guide.

That's great news. I would rather be able to receive my HD locals from Dish, but I'll settle for sub-channel info for now. Does this mean it's a done deal and if so, I wonder how long before they turn them on?
you should check again.
they were added to the hawaii spot beam for 110
if you're not getting them, do you have an mpeg4 receiver and the right hd pack?
Just talked to Tech support and Hawaii spotbeam will be activated tomorrow.
New HD channels will be Universal, ESPN2 and NFL. Need MPEG 4 receiver.
Yea finally something for Hawaii.
As far as I know thats not happening (at least not tommorow) I would call back and see if someone else says the same thing.
Well, it certainly is being advertised:

And they should be ready to view.

The transponders have been lit up since the Alaska ones were lit up.
They are the same TPs. There will be no activity to indicate what has happened.

What about the guide info for the local sub-channels that were shown as unavailable? How long should it take those to become available?
All of the ones in the system would show as unavailable in the report because they are not real channels. But many have been using the ones which were already up. Seems these should be ready now.
Uhm. These look like Digital sub-channels to me. I can't say that I was exepecting this from Dish Network anytime soon.
I will say that I'm seeing EPG info for these channels in my Guide now. Perhaps these are just EPG listings and that the video channels are not really uplinked. You know, just to get the EPG working.
Yep...you hit it on the head. The 14000 range is for EPG only...no video...hence the unavailable.
I wonder why I only received guide info for only 2 of my 5 PBS stations? I already had 29.1 and now I have 29.4, but still nothing on 29.2, 29.3, and 29.5.
Yes, when I got home last night at about 6:00 all of the HD channels were on and showing up in the 5500 range.
They took all of the HD channels that I previously received and are now on the spot beam. This is great news since the signal strength is over 90 instead of the previous 50 range.
Thanks Dish
