Does anyone know what happened to FSN Wisconsin? It is no longer in my list of favorite channels. Has it been moved to another channel? Sorry if I have missed something.

RSNs have been moving since early June, go to the full guide and you should see where the channel moved or read SatelliteRacers thread about this topic.

Try 669 now. See this.
Too bad D* royally fudged the move from 642 to 669, cause the game wasn't available in HD tonight (as in the 669 HD version was not there), and when I tried watching on ESPN HD it said it was blocked. What a joke. D* needs to get their act together...

As per above, they are rearranging the RSN channels locations due to the new sat going live tonight, its new location should be permanent.

669-1 was on my HR20-700 and I did get to see the game in HD. The guide showed upcoming Harold and Kumar, but the game was showing.

Thats weird because its completely missing from my box (HR21). I'm not happy. :mad:

I understand, but the HD version of the channel is not in my guide, anywhere. What's up with that? :confused:

I called D* and the lady said it was not showing up on their station box either. Something is amiss...

The game was on ESPN last night, at least for me and I'm in the home market for the Brewers. I don't know what your problem was but it didn't affect me.
I was looking for the Brewer game last night and found 642 gone. I didn't know it was moving to 669. I went through the channels in MLB EI and found the game and watched it on that channel. I think it was 739-1. I don't subscribe to MLB EI but I figured it was just re-mapped from where ever FSN Wisconsin was.
I watched in on 669-1 as well, the guide was the same as boilerjt, Harold and Kumar upcoming, but the HD feed was there. There were actually TWO 669-1 channels, one said that and the other said it was the game, but the one that said it was the game was black.

Now if they had only played better....or at all for that matter...

I only had 641, 641-1, 642, and 642-1 in my favorites for the FSN channels. I had to go in to my favorites list and add 669 and 669-1. Perhaps that is what happened to you?

I was searching the entire menu guide and didn't find it. I've had a lot of issues with D*, and they seem to be continuing. What a shame because I love all the HD channels (when they are actually there)... I also checked out the guide this morning and FSN WI HD is still not there. Weird...

Yeah, the Brewers looked like amateurs these past two night; all the errors and poor offense. We really need to step it up! And what's with Corey Hart lately? He almost seems injured...

That's exceptionally bizarre. I was watching it on an HR21-100 last night.

They looked terrible in the Houston series too, even if they won a couple. I think the St. Louis series jacked up their egos a little too much.

Yes, it is odd, isn't it? When I get home I will reset the box again, and if the station is still gone I am going to call D* again. Once you go HD baseball, there's no going back. :)

I agree about their egos being too big after the St. Louis series. We are a solid ball club, but we have a long way to go. The Cubbies sure can hit, though...

I just looked on my HR20-700 and 669-1 is not there today. It was there last night during the game for me. Looking at the broadcast schedule, this afternoon's game is not in HD and the next HD game is on Sunday.

So your disappeared too? Weird...

Let's hope they get this fixed by Sunday's game! :eek2:

If you don't have a 669-1 channel look for the game in the 720s where the MLB EI games are broadcast. That's where I found the Brewer game last night.
Initially I wasn't thinking last night and tried to tune in to the game on ESPN. It gave me the message that it was trying to find it for me on another channel since it was blacked out there. Problem was it didn't find it on 669 but on some 9000 channel. Isn't that a bar channel?
