There is something weird regarding the local sports channels in HD that I'm quite curious about.
Whenever I am watching the games in HD, they come in on channel 96. But the people on the channel announce to the viewers in the Miami area that they can EITHER watch the game in HD on channel 96 and/or 97 on DirecTV. You can see the Sun Sports website listing the DirecTV channels as being Channel 96 or 97 by clicking http://www.sunsportstv.com/hdtv_programs.jhtml?method=listSeparate&hdtv_programs.team=Miami HEAT
I don't get channel 97 AT ALL. It's not in my guide and I can't tune into it at all. I tried setting my receiver (which uses the 5 LNB dish) to the 3 LNB to see if channel 97 would appear, but it did not.
This is not a big deal, but I just find it interesting and curious that they would announce channel 97 throughout yet I don't know who can see the Heat games on that channel.
