What we are hearing...

And how sweet it was - NHLN is gone.

Well - the FAQ says Late October, can't get later than Oct 31.

I'm thinking D* is real big on Trick or Treat - with the emphasis on an early morning treat.

There are easily 10 channels plus that are waiting in the fold and been all the talk last week, could be a big Wednesday.

 

[Mariah2014]

based on the programing the channel was showing, we will receive it on 10/30 in the evening.

 

[iceturkee]

anyone else have major audio issues during the panthers game friday night?

 

[jcrandall]

There was no audio at the start but after 10 minutes or so it was ok. Had a few breakups during the game - but that seems normal for FSN HD, at least it is in Detroit. I didn't notice anything major once they turned the audio on.

 

[iceturkee]

mentioned in another thread that late in the game my audio sounded like it was cracking.

they are reporting on DBS that NBA HD is on 601 this morning. not home to check myself

 

[ycebar]

yes nbahd is on 601 this morning

 

[JayPSU]

Hmmmm, odd day to add a channel. I wonder what Halloween will bring!

 

[Ronnie-]

Yeah with nothing announced that im aware of either. but YAY!

 

[cb35]

nba season starts Tuesday that is probably why they did it before the Wed usual release day

 

[ycebar]

[Mariah2014]

If not tomorrow then wednesday for sure will be when nhl network hd will be up and running on directv.

 

[mulesqb]

Scobuck - Any news for tomorrow?? How about we just shift last week's prediction to this week?? Sound good?

 

[steveken]

Guess what we have is all she wrote for October since I haven't heard anything about any new channels being put up. Oh well.

 

[ycebar]

NHLnetwork was put up today

We are hearing about a MAJOR addition of RSNS gong CONUS:

Info as originally posted by Satelliteracer at dbstalk.com:

Here is a list of RSNs going full CONUS HD tentatively by mid November. Because these RSNs do not broadcast a 24-7 HD feed, we will be airing HD games only. Now, bear in mind that not all of these RSN's listed carry NHL games but you can see that certainly some of them do, this will help to lift the number of HD games available in HD on Center Ice


Altitude HD
CSN New England HD
FSN Arizona HD
FSN Bay Area HD
FSN Florida HD
FSN Cincinnati HD
FSN North HD
FSN Northwest HD
FSN Ohio HD
FSN Rocky Mountain HD
FSN South HD
SportSouth HD
Sun Sports HD

On 11/7 he posted this update on the above:
Next Wednesday is another step forward folks, with all of those RSN's going full CONUS.

 

[Bob Nielsen]

Hopefully that will free up some spotbeam transponders for additional locals.

 

[gadgtfreek]

Hopefully that will free up some spotbeam transponders for additional locals.

This is what I was wondering.

I just want ESPN and TNT to move to MPEG 4 the you can see such a difference between MPEG 2 and MPEG 4
