TVG, the horse racing channel, is rebranding as “Fanduel Network” and its pay internet over-flow channel from TVG2 to “Fanduel +”. They say that the “core major” horse races will remain, it looks like they are abandoning the “all horse racing all the time” format and much of the channel will be...

So, Huntington-Charleston, WV market. Two Sinclair stations, 8 and 11, ABC and Fox. So Sinclair has rearranged its sub channel, now 8.2 is "Fox 11" a simulcast of 11.1. Three possible explanations come to mind: - Signal quality. Sometimes stations simulcast each other because the different...

The Brent Musberger driven sports gambling channel VSIN (Vegas Sports and Information Network) is leaving SXM 12/31 in order to convert into a combination pay and free podcasting service. SXM will add something called Sports Grid channel, staffed by a list of people I have never heard of on...

New diginet launching on Gray stations (56 markets) on January 1st. Joint venture between Gray and Ryman Hospitality, which used to be Gaylord Entertainment. Sounds like what TNN was before CBS ruined it.

OK, it is that week, where the networks announce their new shows (most of the renewals and cancels are now announced early and there are few surprises). NBC: - Bluff City Law. Drama. Crusading civil rights lawyers. Politics. Pass. - Sunnyside. Comedy. Disgraced politician returns to old...

Receiver: HR24/100 (not internet connected) Software: 0xb9c Updated: 1/23 Problem: Picture goes into a sort of "stutter" when scenes change, sort of like slo-mo for a few seconds. I have read this is a symptom of non-updated software. Also gives message "This receiver has become...

OK, explain this one. DirecTV. In the guide most shows have a poster like "card" up in the upper right corner. Same "card" appears on the "Genie Recommends" pages. Mine are in Spanish. The card for "Little League Baseball" reads "biesbol de la lega infintil". "The Simpsons" is "los...

New download of the "red button content" for DirecTV's sports channels. Slower to load, and smaller type, but it seperates the scores by "today" "upcoming" and "completed", or you can go to individual sports. Baseball scores are presented with the "active diamond" (a pictograph of a diamond...

I get the Sports Pack with DirecTV but not any Spanish packages. I have always got Fox Deportes (channel 624). Now it shows up as "not suscribed". DirecTV website no longer lists this channel in any English package. While I don't really speak Spanish, I could dope out a ball game. I...

http://ca.news.yahoo.com/fox-says-cant-afford-more-simpsons-without-cuts-185337352.htmlFox is asking its voice talent to take a huge pay cut on threat of being cancelled. Fox (the network) loses money on the show, but the show still makes money overall for the company, because the producer is...

Software update last night for my HR20. ESPN2 "red button content" shows the LCS ready to start, NASCAR at Charlotte, Outlaw State @ Wisconsin, Arkansas @ #7 Auburn, Browns @ Steelers, Cowboys @ Vikings, and the MLS in full kick. But it does have Seahawks @ Bears upcoming. Other sports...

DirecTV quietly added this market's CW affiliate in HD (previously SD only), on Tuesday. Not that I am complaining, but the only HD material on the channel is that actual CW network shows (10 hours per week). Its rerun packages, syndication, and live sports are in SD. Seems like a waste of...

Situation: I have several HR and H 20 models. Get LIL, but use the antenna option to pick up several "sideband" channels" (the ones that come up *.2, *.3, etc). Recently two more local stations added sideband channels. Both minor all music deals, never would be added to LIL, but I would...

Nothing against Mr. Lewis and the MDA charity. AFAIK, they do good work and help people. Just want to remind the sports fans that both NBC (the golf is running Fri-Mon this week) and CBS (US Open tennis) are carrying sports on Monday. By my count, the telethon and thus not the golf is on...

So my local paper, and I guess most people's, had a full page ad about the Time Warner - ESPN dispute and telling people to "hurry" to get DirecTV. The problem? Time Warner left this market decades ago. The main cable system is Suddenstink, in outlaying area, its Commiecast. Zero people...

Notice that there is now no guide data for DirecTV 660 "Fox Sports Ohio". Its just TBA out into infinity. DirecTV has had the guide data wrong for as long as I can remember. Fox Sports Ohio has three main feeds. What DirecTV calls "FS Ohio" on 660 is the Cleveland feed, with the NBA Cavs...

For those of you in the Huntington-Charleston market, WQCW has moved its digital transmitter to Huntington. Previously, WQCW, channel 30, which is the area's CW affiliate, broadcast from a tower west of Portsmouth, OH, which is the very edge of the market, making its signal impossible to...

Major rain storm last night. Knocked the NBC and CBS stations off the air just at 9:00. Not the uplink to DirecTV, the stations went dark OTA. Within five minutes, DirecTV has un-blacked out the NY stations, put a card up directing viewers to those stations, and kept CBS unblocked until...

I was giving myself a McCarver break, and trying to keep my very limited Spanish skills going, with a few innings over on FS-E, last night. Now when it simulcasts games out of Fox's regular season package, it is just an over-dub of the regular Fox network. Same video, same graphics (in...

As part of the Versus deal (which is thoroughly discussed elsewhere on this board) DirecTV has added the Universal Sports Channel in SD on channel 604. It is currenly only through the end of the month. Lots of olympic type sports, mostly reruns. Universal Sports Universal Sports -...
