That a-boy. Also, anyone notice that Rice is getting a little more non-PC on TV , holy cow. Some of the shit he was saying the last couple of broadcasts has me fuck'n rolling. Like about the "Aussies", and oh the Argentinians hair, or whatever Scola's nationality is... lol
For those of you using FiOS, have you been getting a error message when trying to watch the CSN HD channel? I can't even watch it. And yes, I have the HD package.
There is a CSN HD channel on FiOS? I have it and everything I've seen or heard is that there is no CSN HD channel..
I agree. I have DirecTV HD and it is so much better than my son-in-law's CSNHD. May be the difference in TV quallity I suppose. I have a 47" Toshiba. And I can only compare the TNT and ESPN and KGWHD to CSNWHD though. I confess to going to my son-in-law's to see some of the games though. I never swear, but here goes, "DAMM COMCAST"!!!!!!
Verizon/FiOS same thing, right? I see the station, I click on the station, and I get a weird menu error.
Agree that ESPN HD looks better than CSNHD. I've also had a lot of the 'freezing' during the game. (In Eugene). Also, when the picture 'freezes', it often gets very pixilated just before it rights itself and jumps to current.
Yeah same thing. What channel is it? I've never seen it and everyone I've talked to has said it doesn't exist.
I didn't have HD last year so I really can't compare - but so far the games have looked great to me. I do see the occasional freeze that everyone else sees. But the blazer broadcasts have taken me from "eh, I guess this new TV is pretty good" to "I looooooove my new TV". barfo
Hmmmm.....1527, 1752, 1575, something like that. Don't have it memorized, but I saw it. It's past all the sports HD channels, and past all the league pass channels. Way out there.
How about on Sunday night when he said "Durant just did a Judo Cock-Chop Kick on Greg and Greg got the foul"??? It was with, I think, 10:02 remaining in the 2nd Quarter. It was sooooo damn funny I had to rewind it about 5 times or so just to make sure I was hearing him right!
ooohhh i forgot about that, LOL. I think i was lulled to sleep by the boring ass game we were witnessing! fucking mike rice, wow.
I am going to my first game tonight. I will tell you if it's the broadcast or if they really freeze in the game and TV is imitating life...
I sense a little HD Causin' Panic The signal has to get from A to B somehow. If A is in Houston and B is in Portland, then it's likely going to be sent up to a satellite, received by a really big dish at the cable company in Portland, then sent over the cable. They could be recompressing the stream so it takes less of the cable's overall bandwidth - that would definitely downgrade the picture quality. If it's really cloudy in Portland, the signal from the satellite could be blocked. Heck, even a big flock of birds can block it. Since TV went all digital (in most places), the non-HD version should be way better, as well as the sound. Analog signal doesn't provide any real color information, among other things. Digital signal does contain color information, which is why you don't need to adjust the colors on your set, no matter the programming (digital).
Since nobody else seemed to point it out, the freezing only happened during the road games, not either of the home games broadcast thus far, although now that I think about it both home games were not on CSN, but were shown on KGW and TNT. Additionally, the first time I noticed the freeze was during the pre-game on Saturday. I think Holton was diagramming a play and it froze him for about 2 minutes, but the score ticker at the bottom of the screen continued to run fine.
I had this exact thing happen to me the other night. I too have FIOS. No clue whats going on, but the SD channel works fine (77 I think?). I will say, the SD feed on my FIOS looks better this year than the SD feed on Comcast that I watched last year.
