The Brewers are playing the Astros later this week. 3 channels SD, 2 channels HD say Brewers Astros. All but one are "Unavailable", the one available is SD.

The only crew game I've seen this year in HD was against the Cubbies and I had to watch WGN (Cub station) to get it in HD. Check that, they were on ESPN once also. What's the deal with FSN and offerings in HD?

Brewers Astros are listed on 2 HD channels but "Unavailable" for me. Why the HD channels then if they aren't available to a resident of WI???? Who is getting these games if anyone?

 

[ehren]

FSN-Wisconsin doesn't start HD games until the 24th. I don't even see 1 HD channel listed.

Dish should be using the HD Alt #'s for the Brewers feed and it's not there!!!! FSN-Houston HD is used on the HD Alt channels as well.

Only SD on channel 449 for FSN-WI SD.

Well looks like I will be e-mailing them once again.

IDIOTS!!!!!!! 441 and 442 aren't even being used all night! 441 should have FSN-Houston HD and 442 should have FSN-WI HD

Brewers' HD broadcast schedule comes into focus - JSOnline says "The first two HD Brewers telecasts of the season come on April 24 and 25, when the Brewers play at the Houston Astros."

So the one telling me it's "Unavailable", is that because it's unavailable on DISH, but possibly available on cable?

 

[ehren]

what do you mean by "unavailable"?

You mean "blackouts"?

Dish does have the FSN-WI HD feed for the 25th in the HD ALT lineup. Oh yay, they get 50% correct.

I am in the Brewers, Cubs and White Sox home territory.

Lucky for me I am not blacked out on MLB.TV of the Brewers so I have seen HD feeds from the opposing teams telecast so far (CSN-Bay Area, SNY, FSN-Ohio and WPIX-HD)

Either the 24th or 25th is not available in HD, but SD rather. What is this called and why doesn't DISH get it?

 

[ehren]

The 24th and 25th "ARE" both FSN-WI HD. Dish has only added the 25th.

 

[StonesCat]

The reason those Astro-Brewer games were unavailable in HD is they were the Astro feed. No matter whether you're in the Milwaukee market or not, they're not going to show you the other team's feed.

The 24th and 25th "ARE" both FSN-WI HD. Dish has only added the 25th.

So what's the deal with this then???

I wonder if any astro fans will be getting both of these games in HD and we only get one......hmmmmmmmmmm


Any ideas?
