    When you are watching the Blazer game tonight, check whatever the HD channel is for MOJO. In Portland, it's 788 I think. That's the channel Comcast uses when they broadcast CSNW HD-capable games. I've heard some Comcast subscribers say that the games never show up on their on-screen guide for that channel, but when the games are on, that channel is showing the HD feed. You might give it a shot.

    Also - CSNW is only broadcasting the home games in HD, not the road games, so don't test it out when we play away from the RG.

    For the most part, I'm digging Verizon, but that's one thing I miss about Comcast. There isn't much I miss about Comcast, but that's one.

    I will try that next time... I'm going out tonight, and recording the SD version to ensure I get it, but next time.

    Thanks

    That was true last year. However, this year the on-screen guide does list them on Mojo, must to my enjoyment. May be different in other areas of course.

    Thank you but that's not a Seattle guide. I just checked and channel 788 does not exist and I do not believe that MOJO is available any longer here.

    I don't believe it.

    But, I remember someone saying a deal would be done in Nov and when I seen the comcast commercial that came out I thought depending how many people called the number or went to the web site and ask Directv/Dish to carry the channel might in some way determine the final numbers when finally a deal came through. Just wistful thinking probably.

    I wonder if a deal is made if it'll be in regular programming or in the sports package?

    Tomorrow though will come and go and no deal.

    I think if a deal is ever done at least for Directv and probably Dish it will have to be in the sports package. If you lived in Oregon or SW Washington I think it will replace FSN as the one sportsnet you can receive without subscribing to the Sports package.

    The danger of posting a screen shot of your on-screen guide is that everyone will know you were watching the Rachel Ray Show.

    I knew it was BS, but I was still stupid enough to get my hopes up a little.

    I should know better but each time I hear any positive news I get my hopes up. I really don't think it is going to ever get done but you never know.

    You should have realized that ANY and ALL rumors that start at the blazers forum at oregonlive are not to be believed.
