MSGHD and FSNNY-HD are both now showing in the online guide on Directv.com.... the plot thickens.

... and ScoBuck has posted in other threads, but skipped over this one ... hmmmmm ...

Just received the November issue of D*'s magazine. In the October issue it had MSG listed as HD, in November the HD symbol is gone. So maybe it does launch, and maybe it doesn't.

[DVRaholic]

Thanks Scobuck!!

 

[charper1]

Accoring t folks froM Cablevision, he answer is still NO.

...and boy if it gets turned on tomorrow won't they/he look foolish? I am sure they will claim some BS about secrecy agreements. LOL!

 

[ScoBuck]

Scott's post was from over a week ago. These things change quick, and yes you have to know that very few people would know this in advance. On the other hand - the Dolan's are known to throw curve balls.

 

[byron!]

ugh... the wait for these two channels is getting ridiculous.

any idea what happened sco?

actually.. i'm trying to get someone to change it. waiting for these two channels has used up all of my patience.

 

[NY Rangers 07]

Still have no MSG-HD here in upstate, NY...??????

 

[DVRaholic]

This is a Bummer... was Really looking forward to the Devils Rangers game tonight in HD

Hopefully we will get MSG & FSNY HD next week

 

[azdevil]

isn't it so strange how there was all this hype about MSG HD about 2 weeks before the NHL CI free preview ended and it never materialized? now it's time to make the same kind of decision on NBA Pass in a couple of weeks and again all this hype about MSG HD on D*.

I really, really hope they do get it as it would benefit everyone, but sorry if i'm a little skeptical. This just sounds like a ploy to get people to sign up for sports packages based on a rumor. Unless someone sees FSNY HD and MSG HD with their own eyes, don't buy the myth people.

Has anyone seen any actual official documentation that cablevision agreed to let D* have these channels. I haven't. Just a bunch of sitings of the channels in an online guide doesnt make it so.

No but the MSG-HD logo has appeared in much of the advertising that D* has done. I'm in the advertising biz - they need to get sign off to use that logo or they are breaking the law. And believe me, Cablevision would sue them in a second if they didn't give them permission to use it. All that tells me is that yes, there is an agreement - the $64k question is when does the carriage kick in? I trust that Scobuck was given accurate information and for whatever reason it was delayed. So I'm still betting that it won't be much longer.

Well, it's not clear that Cablevision knows anything about the logo. D* has been touting MSG-HD and FSNY-HD on its website for quite a while now (close to a year), and it hasn't happened. Why didn't CV sue them up to now?

Fact is, no one who is posting here really knows. The real key question is not when it kicks in but what "it" is. Carrying MSG-HD might just be carrying it for out-of-market viewing via NHL-CI or NBA-LP. Perhaps this was all tied to Cablevision being taken private (which it now appears won't necessarily happen).

We have D* on one side continuing to use the MSG-HD logo and putting it in the channel guide and CV on the other saying "only on cable". The people on these boards who claim to know, don't really. I agree it's confusing but it is also hard to believe that we wouldn't hear a "peep" in the media about CV changing its stance, nor is there a real economic reason for them to do so (perhaps it's legal).
