Originally in the press release it was announced that FSN Ohio, FSN Florida, and FSN Cincinnati would be part of the many RSNs going 24/7 HD on 8/14/08.

Unfortunately those three will not be ready to launch tomorrow with the other channels scheduled to go HD at 6:00am EST.

These three RSNs will still broadcast games in HD as they have been doing for many months.

I know everyone is going to ask if this is a few days, few weeks, few months delay....No timetable has been announced on when they will go 24/7 HD.


The rest of Festivus will go on as planned tomorrow morning, so enjoy the new HD channels.

Thanks for the update Satelliteracer.... Much appreciated...

As always. Thanks for the update! At least they will still get HD programming as they have been.

Any possible surprises tomorrow, or simply the channels listed in the press release minus those 3 RSN's?

I wouldn't expect SR to answer this question. We will know for ourselves in 11.25 hours :lol: :lol:

o damn..now there will only be 100 RSNs on D* where you can watch "best damn sports show" and fishing....

 

[Laker44]

Wonder if the problem with FSN Ohio/Cincinnati is the Reds don't want people to see how crappy they're?

 

[Jason Whiddon]

I just cant believe we dont have World Fishing Network HD. Sports leader, yeah right

:uglyhamme

As evidenced by this 11th hour change in plans, perhaps it is best to not go out on a limb with details of what is planned. Even if there is good news, any bad news casts a pall on the whole festivus.

 

[jamieh1]

Does not look like we are getting any additional HD channels besides ABCF HD, PLANET GREEN HD, SHOWCASE HD, EXTREME HD and RSN HDs. Directv.com online schedule list these and thats it.
What a bummer, looks like with a new HD launch they would come out stronger.

Maybe they are holding back a few surprises.

That is actually a good point.

2 of the 3 channels are Ohio RSN's. I complained about Directv's releases, or lack thereof. I live in Ohio. Coincidence?!
