That seems to be everything he has told me. He also told me that all TWC systems are still scheduled to go ADS by years end. ADS is advanced digital simulcast which in simple terms means all customers with a digital box will have an all digital lineup. So no more analog lineup for those of you with a digital box.

alright Longhorn and or whoever else! I have till the very first game of the indians schedule to get my espn2hd ( I will be fine watching it on the analog, but prefer HD ) any news on this I know you said they are hopeful, but hopeful and its done are along ways off from one another, I am guessing we are not going to see this channel before April?

I just e-mailed Dressler about ESPN2HD being added before MLB opening day (as he and others have led us to believe for months now). Well ... surprise, surprise-- he's changed his tune.

He reports no progress in adding ESPN2HD or the NFL Network. If you're like me and love sports, this might just be the last straw. Come on Verizon Fios!!

Any updates on the new channel situation?

 

[HDTVFanAtic]

Interesting as I spoke to a higher up at BHN when the 3-4 weeks post was made and they assured me no talks were in the works on any of the HD Channels mentioned - much less ANY additions in 3-4 weeks.

As this person has been right on the money before, including ESPN-HD before anyone breathed a word of it, I was curious to see how it would play out so I sat back and watched.

Guess I now know.

This person at BHN isn't privy to any contract dealings the TWC corporate office is doing so with that said its easy for us to say a supervisor said nothing was coming and 9 out of 10 times the superviser would be right.

 

[HDTVFanAtic]

Thus far the info from this person has been 100%, including ESPN-HD 3 to 4 weeks before anyone else even hinted of it on any thread on any site.

 

[ESPN2HD]

I was searching online for any movement on ESPN2HD on Bright House here in Central Florida, and I came upon this thread.

Anything new going on in the developments of this or other channels being added to the lineup.

I think i've reached my threshold on being frustrated about all the ESPN HD stuff. The World Cup is starting in 2 days and half of the qualifying games are all on ESPN2. I wish I could watch them on HD but that seems to be impossible.

Thanks for any info.

Sad to say it but Comcast will have ESPN2 HD before TWC or BHN will and from who I've talked with I have a very very bad feeling about NFL Network being added anytime soon. It wouldn't suprise me if NFL Network wasn't added at all this football season on TWC and BHN.

 

[iceturkee]

i have been told this will be coming to bhn in late july....no definite date set yet.

I've heard the exact opposite in that it won't be coming at all this year but again I'm hoping I'm wrong and this is coming from a person who has Comcast so I mean that when I say it but again I'm not hopefull that TWC and BHN customers will see it this year.

Now on the other hand I think ESPN2 HD might have a shot but again that deal isn't exactly moving very much right now.

As Time Warner just added Starz HD and Cinemax HD in one of its markets, any chance it will be available on BHN in Central Florida?

I'm still trying to find this out but for some odd scary reason its been very hard getting a clear answer on this.

 

[iceturkee]

i'm having the same problem getting a definitive answer on this as well!!

 

[Gator5000e]

Is that a good sign or a bad sign, or I guess no sign at all?

I'm leaning towards the its a bad sign or at least its the general attitude I'm getting thus far.

 

[iceturkee]

well gator, longhorn may disagree with me, but i feel better about the pending appearence of the deuce in hd, then i do about starz or cinemax. but then it took me a couple of weeks to get my espn2 response, for what its worth!! i guess that means its still possible.

Nope I agree with you that I also feel ESPN2 HD has a better shot than the others.
