ollie Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 I noticed that channels 490 - 492 sometimes show HD feeds of US channels such as Versus, NESN, ESPN, etc. Last night had Colorado vs. St. Louis, Boston vs. LA and an NCAA football game. And right now all three are showing NCAA football.I don't have a sports package as part as my bundle so I'm wondering where these channels come from. It's pretty awesome, I hope this isn't just some free preview.Fingers crossed that they have Sens @ Rangers on MSG tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 I dont have a clue what is going on there Ollie but I have noticed it as well. Every once in a while its a whole lot of "Wicked! What's this doing on?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted October 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I think I figured it out. There must have been a Center Ice free preview last week because those are the channels it uses when it makes HD games available. I know this because I broke down and ordered it on Saturday.No HD games last night though. Grr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted October 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Andre, are you getting the Thrashers/Flyers game in HD on 490 tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted October 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Interesting that the Nashville/Calgary game on channel 493 last night had no branding at all... no TV station bug, no score, no clock, nothing, although it was from the Sportsnet West feed.

It may have been a technical graphics issue or that they just picked up the clean feed last night for an extra game during this special showcase freebee month.

What is this a freebie for? Will I still get the HD hockey games with my centre ice package? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 I think you should phone Rogers regarding HD and Centre Ice. I have no idea about the pay channels and their HD availability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Will I still get the HD hockey games with my centre ice package?I'm pretty sure that the HD games are included in Centre Ice, Ollie (there's no separate Centre Ice HD package). You should note that they only show games in HD when that source is already available (on Versus, regional US coverage, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea about the pay channels and their HD availability.Are you able to tell me what we are getting a freebee of though? (referring to your own words in the post above)Thanks.dave-o, that's my thinking too, just looking for confirmation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 I thought there was a free 3 month preview going on with channel 490 or 492 or 493? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
