Any new developments as to whether MSGHD and FSNYHD are available yet on D*TV? If no, definitive info as to when?

Unless these channels are available, I am not ready to risk a switch to the HR20 from my trusty/reliable dual buffer HR10...THANKS!!!

No new news as far as I've seen/heard/know, but that isn't saying a lot coming from me :lol:

Try the general DirecTV forums as this is the HR20 forum.

True but the rumor is the only way to get MSGHD and FSNYHD will be MPEG4, therefore ONLY on the HR20!!! Get it??? Anyone with news?

Don't forget about the non DVR H20 will also receive MPEG4.

I see you've been at avs. It appears the rumor was a dupe. Even Ken H said in the HD RSN on D* thread that (paraphrasing) the expectation of a carriage agreement reported in the summer may have false.

The only real way to get MSG HD and FSNY HD will be to sub to Cablevison, it appears.
