CBS Sports Network HD New Add Channel 594 VHO5

CBS Sports HD added in VHO5 (NY) this morning at Channel 594. Its not in the guide - you have to manually input to see it.

Nice to see a popular addition for once - although I'm sure non-sports fans won't like it - I do.

Not yet available in VHO7. Glad to see they're finally adding it though. Thanks for the heads up! Now get ready for the "Another sports channel add?! Where's my H2?!" rants.

Lets hope it's included in the Extreme package and not what they pulled with One America news

My assumption is that it's an MPEG-4 add, which they've tended to restrict to Ultimate. I'm sure someone will weigh in shortly.

My understanding is this will be MPEG-2 (Which is a bummer, but yes, I'm sure someone will chime in).

CBS Sports Network HD is on 41.743 (327 MHz) in MPEG-2. It is the only channel currently on this QAM. Two more MPEG-2 QAM carriers were switched to 3 HD channel loading.

7 (177 MHz): 568 WGN America HD, 683 TruTV HD, 789 The Hub HD
99 (117 MHz): 634 Smithsonian HD, 651 HSN HD, 780 Disney HD

They also have only one MPEG-2 channel on 321 MHz (Al Jazeera HD) so we now have room for 2 to 4 additional MPEG-2 HD channels and another 4 MPEG-4 HD channels at 69 MHz (Pivot HD is the only MPEG-4 HD channel here).

It is, but also means it should be available to the lower tiers.

According to the channel lineup it's only available Ultimate HD package ?

That's the way it's been with the SD feed. Ultimate or Sports Pack.

Good grief, so they add MPEG-4 channels available in other middle tiers in SD but unavailable in HD. Then add a channel only available in Ultimate, but use MPEG-2.

Thanks.

My next door neighbor has Extreme and he's able to tune to channel 594.

Nope. Have always had it with Ultimate, so never felt the need...the need to read.

That explains it! So who can remember what date Verizon originally announced CBS Sports in HD? Was it like 2010?

HAHHAHA. I was just going to joke that the original PR was in 2009.

5 years later it shows up.

Makes sense. The quality of their programming keeps moving lower too. The other night they were showing college boxing. Go figure.

I've been missing this. It's been years since I've seen an enormous Scandinavian pull a tractor/trailer up a hill with his teeth!
