yeah i don't get it. they're changing these rsn's to hd 24 but yet they are only for games. i thought all the content showing in the regular rsn channel would be shown in the new 24hr HD rsn's? why make them 24 7?

It is on air 24/7. They are not game only. Like all HD stations, that does not mean that every program is in HD.
Exactly, HUGE difference IMO. Maybe not a huge difference in the number of hours of HD content shown (even though in most cases there a difference in that case as well), its the difference in total programming shown. To alot of sports fans that makes all the difference. As it will to me in about 2 weeks
What besides games will be shown in hd??
I know that Fox Sports has built a new studio in Houston but I am still not clear what else will be in hd.
Some of the pre and post game shows in some markets, but most non game broadcast are SD. But the upconverted SD on an HD station looks a lot better.
that's still better than what we have now. i'm happy with that. it's still an improvement.
I guess if you like black bars on the left and right. I've seen nothing but games in HD on these channels. Pre game shows too sometimes.
FSN North HD and FSN Rocky Mountain HD took a while to show picture (had a "technical difficulties" slide up until about 6:45 am Central). But everything else is running smoothly.
Full Time RSNs
Not seeing FSN Ohio or FSN Cincinnati as full time hd channels yet. They were on the list.

It was posted last night at the other site that FSN Ohio, FSN Florida and FSN Cincinnati would be delayed. No reason was given and no time frame when they would show up was mentioned either.
Seems like a waste of space to make 18, yes EIGHTEEN, pay per view channels, when there are channels like Hbo that could be added. Who watches all those pay per view channels anyway. At least DISH has the right idea and puts the pay per views on your hard drive and you can access them when you want. That way you can use your valuable satellite bandwith for more REAL hd channels.
Well, don't worry, they gave us 3 extra PPVs so they could say 130 in the mean time
I'm glad I slept in, full well expecting disappointment.
If you have the satellite in space testing, and know you're getting capacity by an estimated date, why not get the contracts in place ahead of time.
This is flat out disappointing. Poor Execution.
