Just scanned the satellite, there is no TWC HD transport stream... I think you might have seen a SD feed mix up.  :hmm:

Can you personally see it in your guide? or don't you have DTV?

Wait, what?  It may not be in true HD (yet), but it is the HD feed.  I don't know what you're getting at :wacko:

There is no HD / SD: HD Feed on any of the Dish Network satellites, the only TWC feeds on here are of the true SD feed.

So, what am I seeing, then?  I'm obviously seeing the new HD satellite forecast that came out last February.  When I turn on TWC, I have to type in 214.  If I wanted the standard TWC, then I have to manually hit Channel Up (there's two 214's)

What I have, is a Motorola DSR-4402X IRD receiver in place, I see each channel, as its own map; on each transponder, on each satellite  I don't have a Dish receiver. Dish receivers can view multiple (2) satellites at once and make one big guide out of two satellites.

From what you said, I thought TWC HD was on channel 214 (11276, H, 20000, 119) , when I found out it wasnt there, I scanned the transponder (cluster of channels within a group, 11276, H, 20000), when it wasnt on that transponder, I scanned the satellite (119) when I scanned the satellite and found nothing about TWC HD, I thought you were crazy. I think I found out where my mistake was...

Check this out, I'm sure you can figure this out but get in to your Dish Pointing / Dish Aiming selection in the Options menu (Mostly it's press Options, 6, 1, 1) and tell me if it says "Echostar 119 West" or "Echostar 129 West"... If it says 119 West, I'll eat my hat.

Umm, actually, it says Satellite 61.5.  I checked to see which options were available, and 119, and 129 were in the list, but I have 61.5 selected apparantly.
