8 New HD RSN Channels Added 7/11

[ClevelandRob]

This is great news for Cleveland subs. Makes us not having locals a little easier to swallow as I can get every other local via OTA.

I get TWO RSNs - Fox MidWest and Fox Rockey Mnt

I have yet to see ONE HD broadcast on either one. They are always Blacked Out yet they are are shown on the SD channel.

I think all these HD RSN are all Vaporware to compete with the Direct TV claim of soon to have lots of HD channels.

No does not work that way not all of the games are broadcast in HD so some of them will only be in SD. So most RSN's are not 24/7 HD so you will not see something on the HD Channel all the time.

It's good to see E* making some moves on the HD RSNs. I left E* last year when they said they were coming, then they only launched 8 and stopped.

I think these networks are very important in HD, more important than they may think when it comes to keeping customers or taking people from cable.

 

[Poke]

Yeah after they add these they will have most f them.

 

[PeggyD]

I'm smilin' too! Go M's!

Finally! Go Mariners!

 

[jself1982]

Lets add some channels that really mean something. More Sports...Come on

I agree. I could give a long list, as well as other people too, of the channels I'd like to have.

Do we know if they will be on 61.5 and 129? I am in FSNW area but I shoot 61.5 to avoid the issues 129 is having. Also anyone know if all the Mariners games area going to be in HD? Sometimes when they are on locals that could be in HD, they aren't.

man i was hoping for the brewers and bucks

 

[jgags6]

This is a bunch of crap that CSN chicago wasnt added. I thought that i remembered a press release saying that it was going to be a 24 hour channel, if this is true maybe this is why.

 

[KE4EST]

I just wish it was national Channels...!

Tigers and Pistons in HD!! Great news!

Tigers and Pistons in HD!! Great news!

For those who can actually receive them...and without being blacked out. Anyway, what about Comcast Mid-Atlantic and Mid-Atlantic Sports Network for those in the DC/Baltimore area?

 

[cummingsje]

Probably a silly question . . . but do the same black-out rules apply to the HD-RSN's as the SD-RSN's?

CSNMA may have some Redskins HD, but other than that what else do these RSNs have in HD anytime soon?

Yes.

Basketball and Hockey, but you're correct...they have three months before anyone cares.

 

[webbydude]

I'm not sure if it was mentioned earlier, but FSN Cinc and Sports Time Ohio (STO) will only be on the 129, and NOT duplicated on the 61.5
