More info on NFL RedZone on Dish

[satjay]

Redzone, a bit of college football and Hockey sounds like a winner to me. Who says Dish does not cater to the sports fan

Just was on a chat on the Dish website. The Dish rep verified that I could not get the Redzone channel by just adding the Multi-Sports package to my TurboHD Silver package. Too bad but that is what I expected to hear.

Not to mention you can catch the end of a lot of NBA/MLB/NHL games.

And whenever Dish decides to give us full-time HD RSN's you will also be able to catch the end of the HD versions.

Hmmm, 155 is showing up, but not as an HD channel. Hope they get this set up before gameday!

155 is simply a slate saying that fuel has moved to 156. No need yet to set up an HD channel. Patience Grasshopper.......

This past saturday I counted 13 extra college football games with the Multi- sports package. For us transplanted citizens it is a good opportunity to see teams from places we once lived. It is also nice to see teams from conferences outside the local sports channels.

How many were in HD?

I know of at least 1, Florida Gators was in HD on Sun Sports, I know because thats the only one I watched. But I'm sure there was more then just 1.

 

[Bobby]

San Jose St at USC was HD as well.

Today they are showing a couple High School games from the new Cowboys Stadium in HD.

Four of them, in a row...

Multi-Sport is nice because (1) it gives you an alternative if your local station preempts the FSN games for their own MLB / NHL / NBA sports, (2) many games may only be on one RSN (Arizona / ASU on FS Arizona, USC / UCLA on Prime, Florida on Sun, hockey on NESN / FS North). Worth $5.99 to me.

I am on EA, and do not have an affiliate that syndicates SECtv, so I hope they open up FSN Detroit HD for the game vs. Troy as that is the only opportunity I have to watch it in HD. They did not have it open for Tennessee/WKU last week, I am hoping it was just an over sight on Dish's part. I have checked the guide on our 722 and it is not showing up, yet. But, last week more games came on the guide as the week went on.

If you don't have a local affiliate that carries SECtv then probably the only way you will be able to get the game is through the Game Plan package, and it won't be in HD.

I have Game Plan and ESPNU, and being a big SEC guy, have no need for the Multi Sport. Redzone would be go though.

At this site: 2009 College Football Preview the Florida-Troy game is listed as being carried by Game Plan, MSG, and FSN Detroit. This site also lists affiliates that carry the game.

or you could go to ESPN360 and watch them online.

Indeed FSN Detroit is listed in my guide as showing Troy-Florida but they don't have it on the HD channel, yet. That often doesn't happen until about Thursday.

 

[dodger72]

i signed up for the sports pack yesterday, and i was wondering if replays of pro games were subject to blackout rules as well.

 

[btharner]

The NHL, with rare exceptions, does not black out replays. The NBA and MLB do. Baseball even goes as far as to black out replays of classic games to viewers outside of a teams area.
