Re: Summer Olympics: Soccer and Basketball channels anyone?
oh man, is this gonna suck. i found a post at engadgethd.com (»www.engadgethd.com/2008/08/05/co···overage/). it outlines comcast's and charter's coverage, and if you read between the lines, we won't have the soccer and basketball channels, and some of the items mentioned in this thread were also mentioned in the engadgethd.com post. remember, everything's online, most of the important matches/games will be on channels that we actually get, and a lot of it happens overnight. now if they have a hockey channel for the vancouver games in 18 months and comcast doesn't give it to me, i'll be really pissed. |

US vs Norway in Women's Soccer on the UHD channel here in the Houston area. I think I heard/read the Basketball is going to be on USA(HD). |

Both channels are on here in Baltimore. Soccer is channel 221 and basketball is channel 222. Nothing but color bars on basketball but the soccer channel had today's games. Right now it says next broadcast 5am. |

nbc's website lists our zip code as having them (or getting them). I hope so, I'd watch a lot of the men's soccer. It looks like the US will get coverage on UHD but I'm interested in the rest as well. I guess we wait and see if it shows up.
I don't remember if we even have the bandwidth for anything new around here though...maybe cypher can chime in. |

Comcast began adding some HD channels around midnight here in southern CT. SNYHD was added and the two Olympic channels have also been added, both in HD. The channels are now mapped in the guide but the signal is currently out during this transition. |

while i don't take back my bad feelings about comcast, i see olympic soccer on channel 182 (in HD) and a test pattern for a channel marked as olympic basketball in HD on channel 183. cool, a high definition test pattern. time to calibrate my color settings with it. just curious, since the HD channels are fine for me, are these channels available in SD too? |

Wow. I will have to
check my central NJ II (somerset) system tonight. Got home late last night after baseball had ended and only watched some news programs that I recorded on my Dish DVR. |

Anyone know if these channels are supposed to show up on all Comcast systems? I'm in Atlanta, and I went through the whole guide this morning and couldn't find OBASK or OSOCC (I presume they'd at least use the same channel abbreviation) anywhere. |

Called Comcast here in the Detroit area and they had no idea what I was talking about. Also have calls and e-mails into the local NBC affiliate from Monday morning and still no answer. |
