664-1

[TomCat4680]

664-1 added today. when i click it it says FS South alternate on the top but on the description it says FS Indiana alternate????????????? FS South already has 2 overflows and FS TN and FS Car. FS IN only has 1 team so I don't see why itd need a overflow. 664 SD is FS Detroit alternate though so obviously somethings mislabeled. I'm crossing my fingers hoping its actually FS Detroit alt HD!! Anyone know what it really is?

kool I appreciate it. Hopefully the days of FSDa being the only FSN overflow feed that's not in HD are over.

Looks to me like it 's going to be an Alternate in HD for Indiana ..... according to the info portion, we shall see, it would be real nice to get the FSN D ALT in HD come spring time when the Tigers / Red Wings and Pistons are all going at the same time.

why would FS Indiana need an alternate? the only team they carry is the Pacers.

it says FS South too though on the top.

Just got an email from FSD:

It's possible they may be able to use 664-1 to show the FSN national programming that is produced in HD (such as college football and college basketball games). Dish Network often clears those games in HD. We hope to start producing our local Plus games (Wings, Pistons, Tigers) in HD sometime in mid-2010.

664-1 is a floater channel It can be used as an alternate for any ofthe fsn channels.

IF a .1 designates HD, why would the split a SD with a HD channel using the same number ?

664- FSN Detroit a
664.1 FSS Indiana, potentially in HD

FSD told me local sports on FSD+ will be in HD mid 2010 so maybe they added it as a placeholder super early. And D* could use it for national CFB/CBB games on FSD+ in HD like Dish does.

That's what I was wondering. Why wouldn't FS-I alt be 674/674-1?

It can't be another FS-S alt either, they already have 2 overflows, 2 subfeeds, AND Sport South (which also has an overflow).

Maybe it's mis labeled ?
Maybe that will change once programming shows up on it.

Looks like their efforts to get both games in HD (when Wings/Pistons overlap) is going to be faster than that email said.

Of course, I'll believe it when I see it Wednesday night.

Hopefully they won't have to suffer thru another year of inconsistant Offense and bullpen pitching either ... :rant::rant:
