Re: [CATV] Fox Sports Ohio HD
The Cincinnati Reds game tonight was scheduled to be on channel 929 in the Louisville area. As of 8 pm is still is not one. I called and talked to a CSR and was told it might be on shortly. This has not been the 1st time this has happened. Does any other region have this problem? |

The Reds game Saturday was shown in HD here in Louisville. I wonder if Insight received many complaints about the opening day game not being available in HD. And I'd still like to know why the Blue Jackets HD broadcasts aren't shown here. |

Here in Lexington they show the Reds games in HD and that is all. I guess only some of the Reds games are in HD since they don't show every game on the HD station. |

I have tried calling, but have not received any type of answer. I don't blame the CSR's since they can only tell the customers the information provided by Insight. The woman I spoke with a couple of days ago started quoting me information about last season as if it were current information. If Insight isn't going to carry the games in HD despite carrying them last season, that's fine. Just tell us! |

said by rq234  :Hmmm...here in Louisville there are no Reds, Blue Jackets or college sports in HD from Fox Sports Ohio. I guess they have a contract with Fox Sports Midwest so you can see the Cards, but not one with Fox Sports Ohio. 929 never has any programming on it here. Well, there have been people that have posted on the board in the past talking about Reds games in HD. In fact, they were showing them out in Louisville before they were showing Cards games in HD over here. In the past, the special events channel actually broadcast a simple color pattern for most of the time and only displayed actual programming from Fox Sports in the specific times when they were broadcasting it. More recently, I've noticed that they've been simulcasting the Big Ten Network HD during times when FSN wasn't broadcasting HD programming and even during some times when they *were* suppossed to be broadcasting FSN HD programming. As I mentioned before, Insight has been rather inconsistant... You might try calling your local Customer Service and asking them about it. I've gotten the feeling in the past that broadcasting FSN HD programming actually requires manual intervention from the local office, so if someone forgets, it simply doesn't show up on the special events hd channel... |

While they've been inconsistent in their use of it, at least here in the Evansville market, we're still getting Fox Sports in HD on the Special Events channel. In fact, I watched the Cards game on it just last night. Other than the occasional hiccup, it looks rather nice - much better than CBS's HD sports broadcasts (when is Harris going to figure out that they're doing themselves no favors by associating with/sponsoring CBS HD sports?). |
