Yes the game was on NBC and I did see the game it self in HD, but after the game coverage was not such as the players getting drunk in the locker room, Guys at the podeum, ect. This is about the local coverage that dish is missing out on! What you didnt see on NBC is the Celebration that is going on RIGHT Now down in wrigleyville, or the Celebration at the UC right now All in HD! You are not seeing the Celebration on the ICE, and the celebration with the player's familys in the halls and locker rooms in Pittsburg!!!!!!
Also, If I want to be able to watch a replay of a game at 1 in the morning in HD on my local RSN, I should be able to. Or if I want to watch sportsnight in HD, I should be able to........
What's horse hockey is dish's lack of commitment to sports fans. What's Horse hockey is the fact that coustomers have to horass, complain and pull Charlies hair to get things done.
It was basically the same coverage on the major four networks that CSN had. I'm guessing the coverage on Versus and NHL Network was probably similar as well, although I didn't switch over to those. So, six HD options and you spent 5-10 minutes typing this up complaining when you could have been more thoroughly enjoying the first Chicago Stanley cup in 49 years... c'mon. Enjoy it!
BTW You didnt read my first line where I said COVERAGE in HD! Also Comcast Sports Net Airs more games in HD than NBC or any other provider out there, and even with the NHL and NBA seasons over, dish still manages to miss out on games. They still pick and choose what programming you see.
Infact, it's kind of NAZI ish.. Who is dish to say what games I can and cant see.... Its almost like dish wants to sensor what teams you watch. Last time I looked this is america, and Dish you should be giving your coustomers choice.... Choice in what programs they want such as NBA, NHL, NFL, MLB, Nascar ect. Charlie and company has lost the basic fundmentals and thats giving the coustomer the best choice and channel selection avaliable. They have not done a very good job at that, and there lineup is blurring very much when you start comparing providers. Dish doesnt have the upperhand they had at one time. The only thing that dish does have going for them is their advertising.
Looking at the major 4 networks right now, all of them are not covering the celebration, only CSNCH is. Yes they had their coverage for the first hour or so after the game, but right now who's covering the hawks, Nobody but CSNCH! They are still going live talking to players all in HD!
wow- so you did see the game in HD?
Maybe you should've went to a bar. Then you could've stayed up all night watching the announcers asking the same questions to everyone. You could've watched all the beer getting poured over their heads.
C'mon- you saw the game, relish it and buy the DVD.

umm, they are the provider. They DO get to say what games (and programs) they will provide. Don't like it? Switch providers.
Last time I looked, this is america, and companies are allowed to offer whatever products they like (as long as it's legal). If companies don't offer the right product, or charge too much for the right product, customers won't buy from them and they'll go out of business.
Then why don't you "compare" providers and switch. You mention a number of providers that will give you the programming you want... why not go to them?
In the past, Dish only had live pro games and sometimes the post game coverage in HD (and not every game for that matter) so if they do not give you the game in HD on your rsn, WHY WOULD YOU EXPECT THE POST GAME? Your team won and you are complaining?
proof that he and haller are going to complain no matter what. Personally, I am finding some glee in knowing that he can't enjoy the Blackhawk winning Lord Stanley's Cup because he couldn't see a bunch of no teethed hockey players get drunk in HD.
If you feel so strongly about this, the only way to deal with it is 'speak with your feet'. If enough people do, then things will change. I am an avid hockey fan too. Since my beloved Red Wings went down in flames this year, I have adopted the 'Blackhawks'. I was very pleased to see them win the Stanley Cup this year. It was a long time in coming and it was well deserved.
And to those who do not have a passion for the sport and view it as just a bunch of 'toothless' hockey players, I will tell you that the Stanley Cup is one of the most difficult trophies to win in all of sports.
But, to each their own! Go Blackhawks!! :up

Give him it in HD, and he would complain about PQ.
Bob, Dish didn't have it when you signed up. If you wanted it, you should have stuck with DirecTV. I, for one, am thankful to have a provider that doesn't worship all things sports.
Really?? Would it give your life more meaning if you saw all that?
Take it from a dude in Buffalo......one who has lived through 4 Super Bowl and 2 Stanley Cup loses.......enjoy the bigger picture of what it is.
Complaining about a satellite provider's lack of HD coverage, not lack of coverage but lack of HD coverage, is downright petty IMO.
Amen, you knew what you were getting when you signed up. They haven't taken full time HD away from you, it was never there.
Bob, first congrats on the Cup, from a Wings fan, I know it feels good.Though on to the part I bolded, I would think (correct me if I am wrong) that the average Dish sub would take the more national HD over sports. But I could see how it would suck to not the post game celebrating in HD
CHeck the HDALT channels, last night, a good example twins we not on or listed to be on FSNHD, but were on one of the alt channels in HD.
The real reason is that charlie cant part with the benjamins that are stuck in his wallet. He got a "steal" when he negociated the RSN-HD contracts.. He just didnt think that customers would realize they don't get every game in HD
Where have you seen me complain about PQ in the past 6 months? Only once or twice and that was because the encoders dish was using was bad!!!!!

HD is the standard. If its on in dish in SD, it should be on in HD. If Dish cant adapt to it then they should go out of business.
The only thing that I complained with Directv was the lack of movie channels.. Directv is changing there way's now. Also, in order to get everything you have to go with two providers. It shouldn't be like that.
Your right, Dish has NEVER provided these channels in Full time HD. Wich shows how pathetic dish is when it comes to programming choices. They will always be second best when ever it comes to programming. Charlie says he wants to be the number 1 provider when it comes to multichannel pay tv. I don't believe it.. If he seriosuly wanted to be the number 1 provider, he would make concessions to bring channels such as HDRSN's and ESPNU / AMC / IFC. Fighting for the coustomers dollar angle isnt going to cut it any more.
Thanks
I know how hard it is for people to not take a 2nd and alternate point of view around here. Infact all the people who posted against me in this thread just want to accept status quo. Status quo (IE the programming department) is going to end up Charlie in the crapper just like how the advertising department did at one time. Remember those 9 months of nothing but subscriber declines. Charlie you finally fixed the Advertising department... They do great things for you... But the programming department is killing you. Im not saying warship all things sports like Directv and others around here think, Think I think you should do. All I'm asking for as a customer is to have my Local sports programming on my RSN in HD in full time. If you don't get the Sunday ticket package, that's fine.... If you don't get the MLB package that's fine... What I do expect of you is to offer all RSN's In HD full time! If people cant see there games, and local sports programming in HD, then why do you even bother. That's like missing ESPN or MTV from your lineup.. But then again, you have done that in the past and look where it landed you... With a bunch of pissed off subs. Why not make them happy.... I have always said the one thing that would keep me from leaving dish, would be my RSN in HD. Add that, and I would sign a 5 year contract because I have no reason to leave.
This is the one place where you are very weak. Why not improve your weak spots as you are only as strong as your weakest link! Its your company.. Rune it if you must, but what do I know... I'm only the customer!
