[emgoodman]

Anyone else not getting the HD feed of NESN for tonight's game. SD is coming in.

Annoying isn't it. Sox in HD not showing nor listed in the guide. Only SD. In the past I've seen it come on a bit into the game. Maybe that will be the case tonight.

Good thing the celtics are on abc HD , and not on the RSN channel

Interesting CSR Chat:

(04EP) Richard M: Thank you for choosing Dish Network the leader in DVR and HD. How may I assist you?
(04EP) Richard M: Are you still there?
eric goodman: The NESN HD version of the Redsox game is not coming through tonight. Only the SD version. The game is definitely being broadcast in HD. A friend of mine that has DirecTV is getting the game in HD
(04EP) Richard M: I am sorry but its not available in HD at this time.
eric goodman: According to the NESN website the game should be available in HD.
(04EP) Richard M: With us.
eric goodman: Why is it not available?
(04EP) Richard M: Not with us.
(04EP) Richard M: Its just not available with us.
eric goodman: How come? Dish has NESN HD.
(04EP) Richard M: I apologize for any inconvenience.
(04EP) Richard M: Its not up to us its up to the affiliates.
(04EP) Richard M: Is there anything else I can do for you?
eric goodman: Why would they send the HD feed to DirecTV but not to Dish?
(04EP) Richard M: That is a competitor.
(04EP) Richard M: If we were the same company, now you may ask that question.
(04EP) Richard M: But since we are different companies.
(04EP) Richard M: It means different rules.
(04EP) Richard M: Its a sports politics thing.
(04EP) Richard M: I apologize for any inconvenience.
(04EP) Richard M: Is there anything else I can do for you?
(04EP) Richard M: Are you still there?
eric goodman: So you are saying it is NESN fault that the game is not being offered and has nothing to do with anything Dish has done?
(04EP) Richard M: No.
(04EP) Richard M: I cannot tell you why or the exact details.
(04EP) Richard M: Just know its not up to us.
(04EP) Richard M: Nor can I tell you why.
(04EP) Richard M: Is there anything else I can do for you?
(04EP) Richard M: Are you still there?
(04EP) Richard M: Sir?
eric goodman: No I guess not. Just that Dish should say on the channel that they have chosen not to broadcast the game instead of saying please check back to see when your team is playing in HD when it is.
(04EP) Richard M: Thank you for using Dish Network Live Chat. Have a great day.
Thank you for visiting Dish Network. You may now close this window.

First, emgoodman, don't be too hard on the CSR. They tell the CSRs what to say. They don't explain why they do things.

SECOND, stop being stupid all of you Red Sox fans.

How did you miss all the hype???

All the HD bandwidth is being used to show the Yankees game because according to the press, apparently God is going to descend from heaven and start for the Yankees tonight. <<sarcasm off>>

[hockeynut5150]

stupid part time channels

 

[CubsWin]

This is going to get really annoying... Has there been any talk of 24/7 HD RSN's at any point in the near future?
