Has anyone been able to get this channel on echostar 3 or 5? It's a cool channel for soccer but when I search for it on these networks it does not come back as a channel. Now, I realize this is a HD channel so do I really need an HDTV to at least view it (I was told you could still view HD channels without an HDTV with crappy quality. Is my assumption correct on HDTV? And if so, how can I pick up this channel as it appears to be part of the Dish Network Package.
Below is the detail for the channel. BTW, I have the Viewsat Xtreme receiver:
World Sport HD
Language: English
DISH Network
Channel Number: 9477 Orbital Slot: 61.5 degrees west longitude
hd channels can not be viewed without a hd reciever... which there are none... sorry 'bout your luck... you'll just have to manage with standard definition for now.
