Because Cablevision has refused to sell it to them.  Verizon has filed a complain with the FCC.

Hello,

I am not 100% on this as it is technically out of my realm of expertise but i have been reading up on this subject as of late.  MSG is not the only regional sports network to have this problem when it comes to its HD variant.  I believe we do not have this particular network in HD because of the delivery method of the channel.  We didnt recieve one of comcasts HD channels for an extremely long time because they delivered the broadcast of that regional sports network via microwave instead of satellite at a head-in.  The loop-hole in FCC regulation allowed them to deny us the HD variant of the channel.  Again, out of my realm of expertise but that is what i found out by investigating online.
