Super Bowl In HD? Not For Dish Viewers In Sacramento
Do a search on "moving"
What Sacramento thinks they are the only area NOT getting the superbowl in HD? Ya so there are alot of area's that dont get fox hd from dish. That is the reason why they make OTA indoor/outdoor antennas. I Too live in an area where i cant get fox hd from dish network. The cable companies can but not the satellite companies. KBSI is broadcasting it via OTA so i dont care.
Over here in the Seattle area we also do not have fox in hd. I got lucky and was able to put up an fm dipole and pull the station in.![]()
Here we go again with an incorrect thread title
Would the mods please correct the title on this thread?
THE SUPER BOWL IS IN HD!!!!!!!!
Just because YOU cant get it IN HD doesnt mean it isnt in hd!!!!!
Not a problem. Just get it OTA. Would I like to see Fox on Dish? Yes, but not a deal breaker and I will be able to view it just fine and without Dish compression.

The Sacramento local HD stations are not compressed by E* at this time because E* only carries 4 of them on the spotbeam. If they start to carry FOX the compression may begin because they will have to add the CW channel (both owned by Tribune) so 6 HD channels on one spotmean can be tight.
Still since FOX is 720p, a little compression wouldn't make it look bad, now the CBS HD and NBC HD will look bad because they are 1080i.
Interestingly DirecTV today allowed its HD viewers to watch the FOX HD game on CH701, a MPEG4 HD channel available nationwide. The feed was from FOX in NYC but most all HD subs nationwide could watch it.
Maybe E* should try a similar arrangement in the future.
Only way in to get Fox HD in our area is if you have Charter Cable.....

WAUSAU, WISCONSIN -- – WFXS-FOX55'S recent deal with Charter Cable to carry the station's High Definition (HDTV) feed will allow Charter subscribers and their friends to watch this year's Superbowl in HD. According to Robert Raff, WFXS's Vice President and General Manager, "Charter customers who own a high-definition TV will now find WFXS, FOX55 on cable channel 785 in high definition quality. WFXS is providing Charter with a direct HD feed via Charter's fiber optic cable from the station's downtown Wausau studio."
WFXS is currently working with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to construct a full HD broadcast facility to be completed later this year. FCC rules and laws regulate what a station must do to establish an over-the-air digital broadcast signal, however, the station is permitted to provide the signal to cable or satellite operators capable of transporting the signal from the studio to their customers. Raff says the signal would also be made available to any other cable providers with the ability to get the HDTV signal in a similar manner. At this time, Charter is the only provider with a fiber connection to WFXS.
"Charter is very pleased to add WFXS to our array of popular high-definition services," commented Lisa Washa, Vice President and General Manager of Charter in Wisconsin. "We know this is quality programming that adds to the value our customers with HD television sets want, and we feel it's another benefit for our customers in the investment we have made in our fiber optic network."
WFXS is the FOX network affiliate for north central Wisconsin and Charter is the leading video, high-speed Internet and telephone provider in the area. The FOX TV Network has been a leader in HDTV program production for several years and Charter carries over 20 HD channels and over one hundred options of high definition programming, including Video-on-Demand throughout the region.
