OK who wants to hear some nifty Y.E.S. channel info?
Interactivity only getting sweeter; Full story at 11:00, or more likely earlier. that was for dramatic effect.

[Questioner]

Not as nifty as fulltime nesn hd going live tomorrow.

[ScoBuck]

Seeing is believing.

[mkmhr]

Starting July 16, and continuing throughout the 2006 season and beyond D* will offer an interactive application during YES Network telecasts of live New York Yankees baseball games. Additionally for home Yankees games, D* will offer a second BonusCam video feed, available side by side with the YES Network signal. This interactive feature is exclusive to D*

The interactive channel will have the following features available from a Menu accessed by RED button press:
• Starters/Due Up - Starters displays batting order number, name and position for each player, and for either the Yankees or the opposing team. Due Up lists three players at a time, for the team currently up to bat.
• In-Game Box Score - includes current box score information for both teams, with separate displays for each team’s hitters and pitchers.
• Player Stats (3 tabs)
o Profile Tab – display essential player stats, and last 4 season stat lines.
o Career Tab – display 8 season start lines and is scrollable for additional years.
o YES Scoop Tab – display up to 4 bullet points of information from Yankee Player Profiles (available for Yankees only).
Full Roster– also available is a full roster for each team, sorted by position, and selectable to show Player stats.
• Yankees Schedule – present a month-by-month look at the entire season with results from preceding games, times for upcoming ones, and the games to be telecast on YES clearly indicated.
• MLB Standings – offers the current standings in each division and in the league Wild Card races. American and National Leagues will be on separate pages.
• MLB (Statistical) Leaders – selectable list of the 10 leaders of each league in five offensive and four pitching categories.

MLB Scoreboard – At a YELLOW button press, viewers can access first pitch times, in-progress score and situation tracker, and final scores for all the day’s MLB

action. They can use the arrow buttons to scroll through multiple score pages to see all the league results.
BonusCam Feature During Yankees home games only, a BLUE button press brings up a side-by-side view of the YES network signal and an additional video feed. This additional video feed will be an isolation camera of a Yankee star in the field or at bat, or a situational view of game action.

Equipment •will need an interactive set-top box to receive the service. :)

[Earl Bonovich]

So you mean the Interactive Session that they where testing a few weeks back?

[mhayes70]

Not as nifty as fulltime nesn hd going live tomorrow.

So, are they putting some RSN's up fulltime on HD?

[Earl Bonovich]

Far as I have been told... RSN-HD is going to start off as Part/Time HD...
Some RSN's maybe full time, but a bulk of them as they start are going to be part time

[Questioner]

Seeing is believing.

CSRs are now confirming it.

[ScoBuck]

Bwahahhahahahahahaha, a directv csr....now there is a reliable source of info. Call one right now, I bet you some won't have a clue about the first batch of local hd channels launched.

well just yesterday you said you don't believe them - now you do? on something like this?

[Questioner]

Indeed, however, it's not just the csrs confirming it, it's all the other third party reports combined with it. I would never take a csrs word alone.

[mhayes70]

Do you know what stations are going to be in HD and what channels will they be on?

[Earl Bonovich]

I have some of the names, most Fox Sports Net..

They will be in the upper 90's

[mhayes70]

That is Awsome!!!!! :icon_da: Do you know if Fox Sports Midwest is on that list? When are they going to start broadcasting these?

[Earl Bonovich]

:( Fox Sports Midwest isn't on the list that I have details for (the detail list is for those that should be coming very soon)

NESN is on the list, and it 24 hour one...
They will be up in the 600's

[cabanaboy1977]

So you mean the Interactive Session that they where testing a few weeks back?

Is that the same thing as the mystery record light on the R15? or something different?

[DCSholtis]

I saw the list on AVSForums.com or what part of a list there is. Im happy to see at least for me that STO and FSN Ohio are listed as part time channels here in the Cleveland DMA. (Hell I didnt know that FSN Ohio was even broadcasting in HD yet but thats what the list I saw said). Im also in the FSN Pittsburgh area for hockey so I guess I will be getting that for HD hockey too since Im in both the Pens and Columbus teams territories.

[GatorPhan]

Any chance FSN Florida or Sun Sports are going to broadcasting in HD?

It looks like FSN Florida and Sun Sports began running HD programming today...

[PaulieORF]

NESN is on the list, and it 24 hour one...

Will NESN HD be treated like our local HD channels? Example: I have two channel 3's, one HD one SD. If I press 3 on my remote, it brings me to the HD channel. Do you expect the same for NESN HD? Will I have two channel 623's? Thanks.

According to the rumors, we were supposed to be getting NESN HD. No sign of it. Also, surfing around this morning, no signs of any other HD RSNs. I hope it's just DirecTV sleeping late on a Saturday, but I won't get my hopes up.

Well, if they are in MPEG4 (like it is being speculated) - they would NOT show up in your program guide UNLESS you are IN the HD local market that is ALREADY lit up and you get the RSN as your REGULAR RSN. For me, that means I could NOT even see if any were added except YES (that is my regular RSN and I have AT9, H20 and CURRENTLY DO GET NY DMA in MPEG4.

Is this stuff true for you too?

I live in Connecticut and get MPEG 4 HD locals. NESN is one of my six RSNs. I do not see any sign of NESN HD anywhere in my guide (or YES, which I understand is supposed to be part time). Plus, there are no posts anywhere on the net of anyone even seeing any new channels.

FSN Detroit doesn't show anything in HD. Read something over at AVS Forum that they rely on FSN out of Houston for feeds and were waiting for them to upgrade.

[Knepster]

Ch 96 is now in my guide and is labeled HD rather than DTV. It will be showing FSN Rocky Mtns HD broadcasts of the Rockies games. So at least here in the Denver area we are getting the RSN HD part time for the games.

What is the big holdup with nesn, they have been talking with directv for years it seems.

[austen0316]

hey earl, did you know what the situation is with the rsn's in hd today?

[GatorPhan]

I can tell you locally that Channel 96 is now an HD channel with games from FSN Florida. I pulled up the FSN Florida HD schedule of games and they are all there.

[PaulieORF]

Around what time did you notice channel 96 popping up in your guide?

[Questioner]

I knew it, everyone gets their rsns at least in part time, and new england people get zippo for nesn, which was supposed to be the highlight of this launch. I have no channel 96 at all.

[ScoBuck]

NY DMA - I do NOT have channel 96 in my program guide (on either of my H20s - one is a 100 and one is a 600).

I do have lots of NYYankees listings though on channel 95 - starting with the Cleveland Games.

Also, the program guides DO NOT say MLB Extra Innings on THESE advanced program notices - like they ususally do.

Questioner - these are just beginning to light up obviously. Give it a chance before you start doubting - they might just light up your NESN before game time - or in the next day or so. I hope you get it.

[GatorPhan]

Channel 96 coming in for the pregame show, but looks very very distorted.. obviously have some day 1 jitters...

[Earl Bonovich]

I guess it can't hurt to publish this now, since the RSNs do appear to be turning on now. Unless noted, these channels are expected in the upper 90's; and ONLY available in the DBA that corresponds to those RSNs... AKA... If you get that RSN in your BASE PACKAGE, you SHOULD get it in HD then (if you have the MPEG4 setup)

I am glad you "knew it" since we have only been reported multiple times that most of them are going to be part time...

Boston-"New England" NESN will be up on Channel 625 24/7
(according to the details I have)

You won't have 96 unless you are in the DMA that covers the channel currently broadcasting on 96

[GatorPhan]

Earl.. RSN's are not part of my base package, not sure they are for anyone in Florida since SUN and FSN Florida are both in the 600's...

Does this mean I won't get the RSN even though I get Orlando Locala via HD?

I think you misunderstood, I know most of them are going to be part time, but nesn hd isn't anywhere on my h20 receiever (a game is on now) even though I should definitely qualify. I don't think it will be on channel 625, as that is SNY...for the mets. The whole nesn part of this seems screwy as nesn insists no deal has been reached and all negotiations in the past have not been successful.

Can anyone confirm the ones that are coming on channel 96 are actually mpeg 4?

I don't know if 625 can be correct, since that's already Sportsnet New York.

[Earl Bonovich]

Sorry... my bad... 623 (I re-read my long post)

It is possible they are using something similar to the CD USA technique where the same "channel number" broadcast both HD and SD... determined by what type of reciever

[Earl Bonovich]

Earl.. RSN's are not part of my base package, not sure they are for anyone in Florida since SUN and FSN Florida are both in the 600's...

So you don't have ANY RSN? You should have at least one...

I don't pay for the extended sports back, but I get my RSN on 640

[PaulieORF]

Earl.. RSN's are not part of my base package, not sure they are for anyone in Florida since SUN and FSN Florida are both in the 600's...

Surely you must. Could be an error on your account, I would double-check if I were you. When I signed up, they told me I'd get six RSNs (NESN, FSN New Engalnd, FSN New York, YES Network, Sportsnet New York, and MSG Network). I only got YES, NESN and SNY to start, in order to "correct" the error, they gave me Sports Pak for a month free, then turned it off, and the other three RSNs stayed up, so now I get all six. Maybe a similar thing for you would work.

[Questioner]

Well I tried resetting my h20, the game on 623 is still sd

All of the SD RSNs are in the 600's. If you receive a SD RSN in the 600's as part of your 'regular' package, you should receive the HD coverage from that same channel.

[ScoBuck]

Paulie - are you receiving NESN in HD? I hope you are.

[Questioner]

I don't think he is, or anyone is.

[PaulieORF]

Paulie - are you receiving NESN in HD? I hope you are.
I don't know, I'm not home now. I doubt I am though, since Questioner isn't.

[GatorPhan]

You are probably correct. I likely do get the RSN's locally, but since I'm on premier I've never checked really.

Here's my question, when I ran the Signal Strength, I get a signal strength of 100 for 1 of the new SATs (I'm guessing the locals) and 55 for the other. Am I misaligned and thats part of the problem or would the RSN come through the same SAT as the locals.

Channel 96 is coming in, but without sound and with a horrbily scrambled picture. So the question is, is this a problem on my end or one of the MPEG-4 issues?

[ScoBuck]

Since I don't see channel 96 in my guide here in NY, it would be hard to tell what the problem is. The first thing I would do is re-boot the receiver, if that doesn't work it almost has to be the broadcast itself.

Since it is a 'new' channel, possibly you should call them up and let them know about the issue - they can tell you if they already know about it or not, and work on correcting it.

[ScoBuck]

What game are they showing (or I guess trying to show, lol).

[ScoBuck]

My gut feeling is that you ARE viewing a spotbeamed MPEG4 broadcast on channel 96, here is why.

Since the channel does NOT show up in my guide (or in Boston according to posters here), it must be spotbeamed - not CONUS. Conus would give me the listing, there would be a 'not available in your area' nag on-screen.

Since it is HD also, there is absolutely NOT ENOUGH bandwidth on MPEG2 on a locals spotbeam to transmit that to Earth.

You can check by re-setting your H20 to 3lnb sat and see if you get the listing Or the game on channel 96.

[ScoBuck]

I won't be happy until I get NESN HD. Also, did you say you see lots of Yankees games on channel 95? Because I still ee lots of non-Yankees games on there as well as Yankee games. I don't think that 95 will be YES HD (part time, at lesat).

[ScoBuck]

You know thats a good question. Could be a couple of reasons/answers.

First, when it comes to the MPEG4 HD channels on the spotbeam, different DMAs will see a different program guide (True also of MPEG2 spotbeam). But I don't think they could have enough bandwidth on the sats to spotbeam a MPEG2-HD offering.

Second, until one of those games actually comes on it will be impossible to tell if its MPEG2 or MPEG4. If you notice though in the program guide description, some games DO SAY MLB Extra Innings HD, some do not (this is true not only on the Yankees listings either)

Third, the channel could be used both as MPEG2 and MPEG4 (similar to what they do with 101 (CD USA).

Fourth, YES HD may stay MPEG2 for a while (until its a full-time channel) and be available nationwide (as it is now when its on and not locally blacked-out).

All of this is speculation, time will tell.

I still think that NESN is part of this stuff happening. I mean I heard it, Earl posted on it earlier, Brine got the same info, among a few others. It seems that everyone that got advance info on this - ALL of them say it includes NESN.

That being said - the launched may be slightly staggered over a couple of days or so - I have NO IDEA, but until we get the true picture on this (maybe some info from DirecTV next week, it will be tough to figure.

I would guess that we will get more and more daily posts about what games are on, what channels they are on, etc.

Hang in there - I still have faith in the info posted.

[adgreer]

Quick question anyone know if fsn southwest was successfully launched on the 1st. And I live in the dma for fsn southwest will that mean that I will get the fsn southwest hd feed even though I live in a area where there aren't locals. Also by the way what in the world is d* waiting on to put this stuff on there website or advertise it somewhere. This is huge for their hd plans right?

[GatorPhan]

Here's something interesting. I reset the H20, and now all of the channels in the 90's are showing live with title standard programming. 96 of course is an HD channel for FSN Florida. Thoughts?

I don't have any sources besides what I've heard here. I wish I knew what the deal is with nesn.

Not trying to be rude, but I can't find the posts here before yours that says nesn was going to be on - could you please provide me the link to the posts you were referring to when you said it was confirmed by third party sources - I'd like to read them myself to gather info.

thanks in advance.

[Questioner]

I did not gather the third party reports myself, I believe several people posted that csrs had begun to confirm nesn would be part of a rsn launch the past several days, as well as the initial july 1st rumor that started a long while ago and posted on nearly every forum. Probably most of it could have been at the satelliteguys forum, I post at both and get confused as to what was posted where.

[iceman2a]

97 and 98 have been in my guide for months. I'm afraid I haven't seen any positive signs as far as nesn hd is concerned.

Here is just a little more specifics a bird dropped, starting July 1, 2006, HD programming will be launching on the following networks in certain local market areas:

1. "Games only" RSNs: YES, FSN Prime Ticket, FSN West, FSN Bay Area, FSN Southwest, FSN South, FSN Detroit, FSN Florida, SportsTime Ohio, FSN North, FSN Northwest, FSN Arizona, FSN Rocky Mountain, Turner South

2. 24/7 RSN: NESN

3. D* is working with RSNs to bring full 24/7 HD in the near future.

Expected late summer 2006:

1. • 24/7 RSNs: CSN Chicago, CSN Mid-Atlantic

2. • SNY

Expected in mid-October 2006:

1. MSG, FSNY, HDNet, Sun Sports, FSN Ohio

and this requires a H20 receiver and Ka-Ku dish

hmmmmmmmmm.........

I was referring to the stuff from the beginning of this thread - but that is a great question if the H20 will be able to access that now. D* said that they WILL be updating the software to enable interactivity but they did not say when. But with all of this new stuff happening who knows - could be shortly.

Maybe Earl will know - hey Earl what do you think?

[DCSholtis]

Reason I asked is that Id hate for you to be disappointed on the 16th when you couldnt access it assuming you had H20s. Hell Id be disappointed too cause I think that YES interactive sounds kinda cool myself.

[ScoBuck]

I guess we will see - but I do have SD IRDS also - so I can give it a shot if its SD only.

[cybok0]

There maybe one FSN missing I thought Pittsburgh was broadcasting an HD signal as well. It will be interesting in the winter as according to D* Im in BOTH the Pittsburgh and Columbus NHL territories.

I think pittsburgh only shows HD to local cable companies.:(

[DCSholtis]

Not so Ive seen some Pirate games on Channel 95 recently and they use the FSN Pittsburgh signal.

[ScoBuck]

Last night's Yankee game on YES-HD had some PQ issues - I think it was one of the cameras though - most of the game was really great PQ.




Off-topic: (sorry)
Besides that I did get some wonderful news (personal stuff) :)

[cybok0]

Not so Ive seen some Pirate games on Channel 95 recently and they use the FSN Pittsburgh signal.

Then maybe the people at D* thinks pittsburgh baseball is so bad that they don't want to waste the bandwith:lol:

YES interactive is now live. I tuned in to the Yankees game this afternoon and saw the blue status bar appear at the bottom of my screen. Pretty cool.
