yea I noticed that. it doesn't make any sense to me why they would do that.

The others are a simulcast of the SD channel. Food HD has different programming than the SD version.

So what's the latest tally between D* and E*? Have we actually surpassed Dish in total number of HD channels and do they still have channels we don't have?...not including VOOM of course.

mystic7 · 10-10-2007, 06:54 AM

It's Directv 45 - Dish 48 (but they include PPV channels).

DodgerKing · 10-10-2007, 06:58 AM

I did not include locals with Direct has more of or RSN which Dish currently has more of (but only on Direct do we have to option to watch each RSN 24/7 without blackouts):

Dish

A&E HD
Animal Planet
Discovery HD
Discovery HD Theater
DISH Network PPV in HD
ESPN HD
ESPN2 HD
Food Network HD
HBO HD*
Cinemax HD*
HDNet
HDNet Movies
HDNews
HGTV HD
History Channel HD
MHD
National Geographic Channel HD*
NFL Network HD
Showtime HD*
Starz HDTV*
The Science Channel
TLC
TNT HD
Universal HD
TBS

Voom

Rave
Equator
Gallery
Treasure
Animania
World Cinema
Rush
World Sport
Ultra
Kung Fu
Film Fest
Monster
HD News Channel
Game Play
Family

Looking at the descriptions of the Voom channels, they seem to suck anyway. No loss at all on my part.

And from what I read, I could be wrong, they only have the east versions of their premium channels in HD

TBS is included. They do have it now, but Dish is not officially listing it yet.

Is that the only network so far that has two different channels, with different programming but shares the exact same name?

Hell, did that make any sense?

I believe so. HGTV I believe will do the same as well when it comes out (next week IMO).

Where I live in Mass, the default is the SD channel and not the HD version.

I have using the number system at my uncles house, as he has the same package as I do, and it also continues to default to SD.

Is there a fix for this?

It is a real shame that the HR-20 doesn't have a changeable channels received list. I hate having to scroll though a search listing with hundreds of programs from channels I don't get or don't want to get. I have complained numerous times

without any result.

That wasn't my point. My point was that if I enter channel numbers directly, the receiver defaults to the HD version of the channel - except for Food Network.

There is beta testing going on right now for the H20. We should be seeing new firmware soon.

Great to hear! It isn't that big a deal as I always just use the guide anyway, but happy to hear that I'll soon have the option to use the numbers.

Thanks for the reply.

Did anyone else need to reset? I turned on the TV and got a message saying it was searching for signal.
