CSN New England was switched over to a 24/7 HD channel from a game only -1 channel. Channel 630.

Hardly the "mini-festivus" one satelliteracer promised.

Yeah, when all you do is convert a part time RSN to full time RSN it isn't worthy of the festivus title.

At least we now have one less PPV channel...

I would call it a festivo...

Surprise..

LOL, the thing about this is on some of these RSN the games are the only thing ever shown in HD. I know YES, SNY, NESN and some others have some other HD programing, but a lot of the smaller market FSNs only have HD programming for the games.

It certainly has been a whirlwind day, with the rollout of this new full time RSN. It brings back memories of that massive roll-out a few months back where we got Planet Green and ABC Family both on the very same day!

D11 and National HD ..... practically the 8th wonder of the world.

I'm a Celtics fan and am extremely happy about this. For those who are not so excited.... it's better than nothing.

But as a Celtic fan you had the games in HD before this. The part time channel was good enough to handle the game.

Somebody kick my chair next Thu.

This is kind of off subject, but if you order the "Sports Pack" ($12 add on) from Directv, do you receive all of the HD RSN's?

 

[gadgtfreek]

Yeah, but all pro stuff is blacked out. Only truly great for college.

 

[crimpshrine]

So at least you can watch "non-pro sports" in upconverted SD, right? Also I assume if your local pro team is playing on a SD version of a game you can watch it on the "HD" channel and watch it in upconverted SD?

 

[gadgtfreek]

A lot of coll and pro is HD too. My local pro games are all HD.
