Re: beIN Sport USAHad a table of 6 at my favorite local restaurant last night and had the GM put the DirecTV feed of BeIN USA on the closest TV for us.
Definitely an exciting game - it's awesome to see the conditions in these tiny countries.
But back to the point - it's a total embarrassment that the nations largest cable provider still isn't showing this channel. Frankly, I don't even care if it's only SD for now - but you can only beat the horse for so long... |

Of Course...Of course Time Warner Cable (and Brighthouse) announces the launch of both beIN USA and Espanol, in both HD and SD on 11/1.
Why can't CC be a leader? |

Where did you hear that TWC and Brighthouse are announcing beIN USA and Espanol on 11/1? I can't find this anywhere and if this is true then that is GREAT news. Please let me know where you heard of this or where I can find further info on this. |

beIN Sport USA Coming 12/12 (GOL Being Removed)My latest bill that was generated overnight has the following information (I'm in Northern Delaware):
On 12/12/12:
beIN Sport USA SD being added to Channel 726
Gol TV SD (726) and Gol TV HD (1513) - REMOVED
So, we are finally getting beIN USA, but only in SD, and they are completely removing GOL SD & HD.
Comcast - WHY AREN'T YOU ADDING HD CHANNELS?? YOU HAVE SO MUCH CAPACITY. WHAT ARE YOU UP TO??? |

beIN Sport USA Now LiveIt is LIVE this morning on 726.
Still totally dumbfounded as to how they removed Gol HD and didn't replace it with beIN HD.
**EDIT** - (Well, the HD logo is on the picture - obviously they are getting the HD feed and downconverting it) |

How can babyfirst tv be in the spanish package? |

Can someone describe what the picture quality of beIN SD looks like? Is it widescreen like FSC SD? Or something else? |

windowboxed garbage. some games better than others but aliasing on a lot of it that can be pretty distracting. |

Comcast isn't even talking about adding it in HD. |
|

I don't even have FSC in HD yet. I'm just happy to get the English channel before the USA's important World Cup qualifiers start. |

FIOS Beats Comcast to the beIN HD PunchSo, FIOS announced they're rolling out both beIN channels starting this week - and, most importantly, ONLY IN HD. While it took them longer, they're doing it the right way. So, FIOS in HD, Time Warner in HD, Brighthouse in HD, Comcast? Downcoverted SD. |

While it took them longer, they're doing it the right way. Not that I necessarily disagree, but what about non-HD folks that want this (or other) channels? Or do all these providers offer "free HD" service regardless of any tier of service, or don't require an add-on fee? (I'm guessing YES???) So, FIOS in HD, Time Warner in HD, Brighthouse in HD, Comcast? Downcoverted SD. Not to rub salt in the wound, but add both DISH & DirecTV, in both HD & SD... |
