Comcast Sportsnet Coming?

[FrankJo]

Does anyone know if voom will be adding regional sports networks to their line-up. I'd really like to see the Wizards and Orioles games in HD.

Just signed up yesterday. I decided to switch because there just wasn't any reason to keep paying for cable and having to pay extra for HD.

I hope I have a good experience with the install.

I desperately want Chicago's version of this channel.

Not until fall/winter when Voom will have more capacity.

Comcast spends a lot of money on this to keep it off DBS. The SD version was "grandfathered" from the days of "Home Team Sports" on Dish and DirectTV.

Cyclone,

I don't know if CSN-HD is still fiber-only or not. I do know that several non-Comcast systems, including COX and Starpower in DC, Virginia, and Maryland now carry it.

That said, the FOX-owned regional sports networks in HD will be on satellite and available for carriage by VOOM.

I'm just waiting for FoxSports Southwest before subscribing to VOOM. They have all of the other content we need, but I can't do without the Big12 sports coverage.

That's good news Ken. Do you know when?
