Superfan includes HD, right? I'm getting the Strike Zone SD but the HD channel says "Channel not purchased. (721)" If I can't even preview the HD, why would I bother buying it?? Not that I would but wtf?

I watched a free preview of the O's/ Tigers game last night in HD , so the HD games are included.

HD is included in the Free Preview assuming you have MPEG4 equipment and have HD Access on your account

I'm hoping it's just because none of the games have started yet. I guess I should have checked that this worked last night but the Phils didn't play last night. BTW, yes, I have the appropriate equipment, etc.

 

[Steve615]

That is correct,SuperFan includes HD.You may want to try the HD SZC again at 7 PM EDT.When I look at the info in our guide,it shows the HD SZC coming on at that time.DirecTV may have the channel shut down until that time.

Surprised that D* turned on the Yankees/My9 feed early at 6:30. Usually that doesn't happen until just before gametime when its My9.

I'm getting this. So I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume all will be on @ 7pm when all the action starts.

It's on! Nevermind!

 

[baritony]

Just tune your receiver to channel 720 and go from there


Thanks for the heads up!!!!

 

[Fenway]

It's working. But I can only get to the HD channels via 720 - the Mix Channel. If I use the remote and press 724, I get SD.

When I hit Guide, I see just the game I am currently viewing and 721, Strike Zone.

I am able to view all the games on the RSN channels.

 

[DCSholtis]

Unblock the -1 channels in EI. Those are where the HD feeds are.

How do I do that - unblock those channels?

Duh - forget what I just asked. I figured out what you meant - and all the channels are now showing.

Thanks very much for the help.

 

[DCSholtis]

No problem.

 

[DCSholtis]

Strange. For the first time tonight the local STO HD Feed on the EI channels was blacked out for me and was redirected to 657-1.

Well, please help me out. I do not know what you mean by "EI". So I need to know how to do this.

Last night I could get the mixed channel but could not get the Phillies game. On my guide the -1 channels are grayed out as if I do not get them. I hope this is what you are talking about and need to know how to get them back on.

Or do I look for game in the regional broadcast (600's) and what it there?

 

[2dogz]

Watching Tigers @ Orioles in SD on MASA, the lousey Orioles network. Tried EI and game appears to be in HD from the Detroit feed. Blaaaah! Not for you bunky. Blacked out by MASM. Guess no EI for you.

For something that cost this much, there shouldn't be ANY blackouts. Any if you pays your money, shouldn't it be commercial free?

Orioles win 11 to 10 in 10. Good things happen, even in SD.

 

[mystic7]

All I see in the 700's is "Coming Up>-----------------" All the games seem to be on the local RSN's and all of them are blacked out here, although I did get the MASN2HD feed on one of the 700 channels. What a waste, here in NC anyway.

I ordered the half-season deal with Super Fan a few days go, but have changed my mind and cancelled it. I really like following other teams (like the Rays this year) but it's just not worth this much money to me, even for half the season.

I have thought the same thing. However, if we were to attend just 2 Tiger games this year, it would cost us more than the $179 for half a season and SF. By the time you add up gas, parking, tickets, food, etc . . . . .

And with MLB EI, I can watch as many Red Sox games as I want
