 rej4sl join:2008-07-11 Minneapolis, MN 1 edit | [HD] Olympic Soccer and Olympic Basketball Channels Comcast have come through this year in Minneapolis as we got both the Olympic channels listed already.
Olympic Soccer on 896 and the Olympic Basketball on 895both in the HD tier.
Last Olympics we were told no bandwidth, this year we did not even have to call them. Must be the NBC connection. |

Now Live in Delaware Thursday is apparently "add" day for Comcast here in the Freedom region.
The 2 Olympic HD channels (Soccer & Basketball) showed up today on Channels 801 and 809 (both on 561MHz for you Moto!)
I was pretty certain these would be added due to the gobs of capacity currently available. -- "ONE team - ONE city - ONE dream!!" |

 telcodad join:2011-09-16 Lincroft, NJ kudos:2 | reply to dyhrdmet said by dyhrdmet:801 and 803 on Comcast of Union NJ. both in HD. Same here in Monmouth County, NJ (Olympics Basketball is Ch. 801 and Soccer is Ch. 803).
Right now those channels are just showing a color bar test pattern with titles saying "EC NOC Olympics Basketball/Soccer GAL 17 transponder 11," indicating that the feed is on transponder 11 of the Intelsat Galaxy 17 satellite. |
|
 | Ours are 904 and 905 in downstate Illinois .We are part of the Greater Chicago area.Hopefully they will put something up full time after the Olympics that is worthwhile.Still waiting for the Bloomberg,Criminal Investigation,soccer channels ,outdoor and sportsman channels and move to 1000's. |
|
 | reply to telcodad Same here in Comcast NW NJ (801 and 803). Does this mean that when the Olympics are over and they get rid of these channels they can the add something like Fox Soccer HD and/or Gol HD? |

Does this mean that when the Olympics are over and they get rid of these channels they can the add something like Fox Soccer HD and/or Gol HD? Well, the flyer about HD channels changes I got it my last bill (see: »(Philly) Tons of HD Premium Channels will be removed! ) shows that, right after the Olympics are over, this area will be getting some new sports channels like ESPN Goal Line and Pac12 starting August 17th, so they may be using that same QAM carrier to carry those new ones.
This area already got the Fox Soccer and GOL TV channels added last fall during our "World of More" HD upgrade.
However, the flyers that other areas received show other sports channels being added in August, so maybe your area will get them then. |
|
 | Only notice we got is they are removing all the duplicate 200 level HD channels 8/17 and receiving one HD channel 810 WLNY HD 8/17. |

 andyrossPremium,MVM join:2003-05-04 Schaumburg, IL | reply to rej4sl I noticed that, so far, these appear to be HD only. Anyone know if there will be SD versions for those without HD? |
|
 | reply to telcodad Replace 2 HD channels with 2 SD ones (Goal Line and Pac-12 Network are being added only in SD).
Sounds like typical Comcast. |
|
 | and goal line is part time and can be slotted into the same space that red zone HD uses (both are not live at the same time) in less comcasts systems just holds the red zone HD slot in a channel off air hd holding page year around. |
