RCN NYC is nope :(
i get espnnews HD and i have DirecTV
you sure you did not see a simulcast on espn 2 hd?
I saw it on ESPN this morning when they air the hour long version of ESPNEWS and it looks very nice in HD.
Checked and don't see it yet on Directv.
Comcast Atlanta = no.
Houston Comcrap and nothing
Dallas area time warner = nothing
What's ESPN??? Is it an American thing???
Wouldn't watch it if is was there, who knows maybe it is. Just more jusnk. Put it in with all the other 20-min ads flanked by 10-min of crunb content.
My Dish Network with dishHD Ultimate and America's Top 200 in Philadelphia doesn't get it
Nothing on Central PA Comcast
Not available on Time Warner Cable - Northeast Wisconsin. We'll be lucky if we see it before the end of the year, really lucky.
comcast salt lake city= no espnews hd. i was excited for this and contacted comcast to find out if it was going to be available. i talked to 3 different reps and all 3 said that it was currently available (this was last week!) i kept on having to explain to them that espnews is not the same as espnews hd! they did not understand and kept on trying to convince me that they are carrying a channel that at the time did not exist. incompetence.
No go yet on my Directv here.
I wish. It's going to be two years before I can have my own cable provider...
nothing on directv yet makes me a sad panda
nothing on directv as of now. what systems are carrying it if some folks say they have it
I have it and it looks great: DirecTV Dallas area
Are you sure? I don't see it on DirecTV in Dallas yet.
still nothing on Comcast Atlanta.
This is kind of depressing.
DirecTV will be launching it at 6am on April 2nd. On channel 207, obviously.
who provided the info re wed launch?
A DirecTV employee who would know. Also launching on Wednesday are Disney Channel HD and Toon Disney HD. ABC Family HD was supposed to launch at the same time, but it has been delayed. I don't know why, nor for how long.
I have DirecTV and I don't have it. Yet!
Verizon FiOs in White Plains, Westchester County, NY = NO. Suxxors!
Oklahoma city..cox communications= no go.
ditto....OKC, OK Cox Comm. No ESPNHD. Love the acronyms :)
A no here in Southern Ariz. Comcast
No surprise, Charter Cable in Western NC doesn't have it in HD.
No channel for directv hd in philadelphia
I'm in Brooklyn,NY and I have Directv and its on channel 73 and not on 207.Now I have to try and remember that its on 73
I live in Queens and my channel 73 shows ESPN HD not ESPN News HD
Channel 73 is the legacy channel number for ESPN HD. They simulcasted ESPNEWS HD earlier in the day. When ESPNEWS HD launches on Wednesday, it will be on 207. Why is this concept so hard to grasp?
With Comcast? Ha! That's hopeful wishing!
Columbus OH, TWC nothing. Our HD service sucks! only like 10 channels
No go on IO Digital Cable from cablevision...I'll expect it sometime before 2015.
I have Comcast and live in Bristol, Connecticut the same city where ESPN is broadcast from but oddly enough we dont have it you would think that we'd but the first but no
Just string some fiber from the Digital Center into your living room, and you'll be getting the best picture outside of the control room!
Not in RCN Boston.
Comcast SF Bay Area = No
this is the response i got from RCN customer support:
"We have not been given a definite ETA for when this channel will be available. We have however, been informed that by the end of the year. We will have a greater HD selection. Maybe filling out a channel request form will expedite this channel being added sooner."
now go flood their mailbox with HD requests!!
Comcast in Central NJ and I don't have it here either.
It'd be nice to have it though.
Yo Bhargav Nutakki
What channel is it on?
And are you related to Borat?
TWC in Rochester says... no.
Piedmont-Triad Time Warner.......
No Sign of it so far........

Jeremy is correct...They said on ESPN News today that it would be available to DirecTV and Dish Network subscribers starting on Wed.
