Dish showing LHN-HD option in the guide

I don't want to get my hopes up, but I just tuned to 407 on Dish and have a message that says Longhorn Network HD . . . check back soon. Rebooting my hopper. Hopeful they decided to give us the real stuff.

/edit. Just looked at the guide and have two channel 407s. One is HD, but it's not active yet. Hopefully, this isn't just for game day.

I did email Dish recently saying I noticed sec Network was in HD and asked when they were planning to switch the LHN over. So, uh, you're welcome!

Just called Dish. No HD LHN yet, but when pressed, I got, we are working to get in HD, whereas in the past, I would get we have no plans for HD other than game day.

I asked them why the Home Shopping Network was in HD and suggested that might be a good way to save bandwidth.

The fact that Dish doesn't have it in HD is inexcusable.

I agree.  Of course, with a $35 chromecast, I can feed the TV a link from Watch ESPN with my Dish password and see it in HD that way.  The lack of HD is a minor inconvenience compared with not having it at all like I did with DirecTV.
