Blackout Question?

[Dah-Henny]

Watching the Duke Carolina game.

ESPN SD is in the clear.
WBTV DT Charlotte is clear and in HD.
ESPN HD is BLACKED OUT

Why in the heck would ESPN show me the SD version and not the HD one? I am watching in HD on local, but really like to hear Dick Vitale.

I was wondering this myself. I was watching on ESPN HD b.c I just don't like billy packer and then poof, blackout! I would've thought they'd blackout both feeds. I thought about turning up my TV in the kitchen real loud on the SD channel, but the sound would be off of course.

same problem in boston, Blacked out in Boston??????
This is ridiculous

 

[Dah-Henny]

If it's out in Boston, I'm thinkin that they are having technical problems with their HD feed/cameras.

 

[kevinsickles]

No, I get the Blackout message

I was watching the game on ESPN-HD then poof...blacked out. So I found it on WDCA (Channel 20 DC Area...SD). It is also blacked out on ESPN-SD

...I just don't like billy packer...

Packer is ok, I guess...he just don't have a lot of charisma. I need to hear Vitale BABY!!!

 

[kevinsickles]

Blacked out in Indianapolis too.

Actually I've moved to Atlanta. Maybe it's blacked out for all markets with an ACC school (GA Tech)?

Anyone in the Charlotte area notice some crazy sound/pic problems during the game? It sounds like a door stop, you know, "Boingda boingda boingda da da da...." and the pic rolls up at the bottom. By the my ESPN HD feed is back online. Weird.

 

[Dah-Henny]

Every time that "sound/pic" thing happened, my 222 froze up. GRRRRR!!!

 

[ShadowInc]

lol, thats what they get for silencing Dick Vitale. He uses his voodoo powers to crash peoples receivers! Its froze up baby!

ACC markets were supposed to receive the Texas Tech - Baylor game instead of Duke - UNC on ESPN.
