NFLHD (Skins-Ravens)

[Spike]

The Skins against the Ravens game is on and in HD. It is not live, but, it is pretty nice.

 

[Sean Mota]

Not in the clear for those that only have HD subscription

 

[BFG]

Looks pretty good but the audio is pretty bland, even tough they're using 5.1 they have zero to barely any ambience mics

 

[Paradox-SJ]

What are they thinking? They billboard hangs down and eats up so much screen realestate its crazy

 

[Spike]

Paradox..

You know, that reminds me. Wouldn't it be nice "IF" they turnned on the billboard ONLY in between plays. That way you could see the whole picture during the play.

They could also put the clock up FULL time only during the last two minutes of a half when the plays are happening. That way they would take up even less of the screen.

a**holes blacked me out, it must require a minimum basic program package.

 

[BFG]

yeah requires that you also have NFL SD which would be in AT120

We are in the same boat Darrell I think I can live without it for now since it is just an event channel with zero original programming. Now if they become 24/7 with Original programming it may worth something.

Odd, I have AT 180 + the HD packs, and all I got was a Dish HDTV logo on my 811. I called to see what I needed to do to see the channel, and the CSR said "I'm not showing this channel as being active." Has there been anything official about this channel?

 

[BFG]

you tuned in too late, the game was over by then. They put up the dish logo when the game ended

Yeah, I was a few hours after the start time. Thanks.

Still, it would have been nice for the CSR to at least say that the channel existed. A lot to ask, I know.....

When the mavericks were playing on HDEV1, the CSR's didn't know that channel existed, either...

 

[BobMurdoch]

Is the NFLHD channel going to get used at ALL now that the season has started?

I scanned ahead 9 days and nothing is shown.......
