We told you there were rumors that FSN would present a few College football games in our favorite format this year and Brodcasting&Cable is reporting that it's true.They will now offer national HD games in addition to their local and regional HDTV, 15 of their 23 national games of Big 12 and Pac-10 college football games will be 720p. The games will be available on FSN HD, which is available on DirecTV as well as many cable companies around the country.
The first game is Utah at UCLA on Saturday, September 2 at 7:00 p.m EST.
Is this available on DirecTV as part of their HD package? Or do I need to sign up for their extra sports programming (the one that gives all the out-of-market regional sports stations, like FSN, and others)?
What channel is FSN-HD? I've never seen it before!
It's probably part of a standard "HD channel" optional package - at least that's how it is on Houston's Time Warner CABLE, cost is $5 additional (to digital cable) for non-premimum HD channels [HBO, Showtime etc in HD is extra $$].
In Houston, FSN HD is channel 302, and for now has only shown Houston Astros and Texas Rangers baseball games in HD.
