Their fuzzy math will tell you that they have around 120 right now, but we all know this is not the case. E* might add 3 or 4 more channels from now until the end of the year and, all of a sudden, claim they're at 150. You never know with these guys.

And, you never know with the "other guys" either.

I know right. I didn't find 120 but I did find E* saying "The best value in HD with over 100 national HD channels" but holy-f-c, D* says "DIRECT now has OVER 130 HD Channels".
So I don't know who has more fuzzy math.

On the RSNs it seems very little of the programming is actually in HD anyway, at least on FSN NW; what is in HD makes it to my tv.

As for CSN-NW, that is a bigger issue than HD. Comcast has wanted so much cash for the channel that neither Dish nor Directv has chosen to carry it, much to the disbelief of fans in the Portland area (as well as the state). It is not Dish, no one carries it, outside of Comcast and a few small cable systems around the state.

D* does have about 130 HD channels
but about 38 of them are HD PPV, so...

Hey you might not like WFN but I know 3 people that dropped direct and signed up with Dish to get the channel. Hide the channel in your program guide if it bugs you that much

Hey everybody. I have updated the list to include the new 6 channel set from Entertainment Studios and some general updates. There are also some updates to the HD Local Markets NOT Available on Dish Network list as well. In as much of an unbiased opinion as possible, I would say this is one of the best concise resources to see ALL HD programming not available on Dish.

I created a new RUMORED Channels Not Yet Launched list because other than an initial press release claiming HD was coming, nothing else has been heard or done since. That's not to say these wouldn't show up at any given time on DirecTV or Dish Network.

In most cities the only locals in HD on Dish are ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX.

Shouldn't MTV be taken off the NOT on Dish? Dish has had it for sometime now, and MTV HD is now Palladia anyways. Love you you have made Grog happy by listing the Voom Channels.
A question about the RSN's are you saying you can get these channels 24/7 somewhere?

MTV-HD and Palladia are two different channels.

MTV-HD (and lots of others) deserves to stay on the "not on Dish" list.

Not sure if it really will happen, but someone on AVSForum posted that Time Warner (at least in my DMA) might be adding Discover HD, Biography HD, Speed HD, and ESPNUHD on Oct 29th.

That would be interesting if Time Warner got Speed and ESPNU before Dish... especially considering that last I knew Time Warner didn't have the SD version of ESPNU yet!

ESPNU and Speed would be a couple of worthy channels to add
