RSN in HD

[Cardinals04]

I have 2 regional sports networks.
Comcast Sports Chicago - Cubs, White Sox
Fox Sports Midwest - Cardinals

I could never get these channels in HD because I cannot receive sat 129, so I pick up 110, 119, and 61.5. Now, I suddenly have Comcast in HD. I checked the EKB and it shows Fox Sports Midwest and Comcast both in HD on sat 119. Any ideas on why I am not getting Fox Sports Midwest in HD? Of course I am a Cardinals fan, so this is frustrating news.

Dish started mirroring some of the 129 RSN HD's on 61.5

Thanks, hopefully they will mirror FSN Midwest HD in the near future.

Can anyone explain to me why the EKB shows this HD channel on 119? Is this channel just not active on 119 or is the EKB not up to date?

I wish they'd do Southwest on 61.5! The only way I get RSN HD is when the Astros show up on FSN-Houston on an alternate channel.

You are not reading that right, the sd channel is on 119 and info states that there is an HD version with the channel number. If you go to channel 5429 (the actual HD channel number) it shows as 61.5 and 129.

I am really happy to be following up my own post! I was surfing through the guide and was thrilled to find FSNSW-HD was there!! I spent five minutes listening to elevator music and watching that graphic!:) The thought of watching Big 12 football in HD in a few months sure eases the pain of not being able to watch an episode of the French dudes on Clipperton for the umpteenth time!! Yea!!!!!!
