I've had Surewest for the last several years and got the Pac-12 Network completely in HD. We just moved and Surewest does not serve this area so I went with DISH (I've heard too many complaints about U-Verse and have had bad experiences with Comcast). I'm using the Hopper and the Pac-12 shows that were always in HD on Surewest, which were all of them including the Pac-12 Sports Report, are in standard definition on channel 406 on DISH. DISH claims that it's because the network is broadcasting in SD which doesn't make sense since they were in HD on Surewest. The Pac-12 website says that they broadcast in both HD and SD and it's up to the provider as to which they show.
The expanded channels on DISH (406-01, 406-02, etc.) that show that they are HD simply have a banner that says that there is currently no game on for that channel band and to check back later.
Can anyone shed any light for me? How can I get everything in HD and most importantly, will I get the games in HD? There was a baseball game on earlier on the main channel (406) only in SD. Thanks!
