BeIN Sport cont.... AGAIN

I'm pretty sure ESPND is not true HD anywhere. Just putting "ESPN HD Deportes" in the bottom-left corner doesn't make it HD.

 

The Liga MX game last night (Morelia v. Santos) looked pretty damn good on my TV.

 

Isn't their a thread where you can check what games are on for that day and channel?

I remember old BS had something like that.

 

The issue with SAP in North Texas is yes there is SAP on BeIN n or what ever you want to call it but it is only on the SD feed the HD feed is missing SAP and I am betting it is a beIN issue and probably won't get fixed.

 

The Eredivisie coverage on Deportes, while great, isn't in HD.

 

It's probably better than the SD widescreen with "ESPN DEPORTES" pillarboxes I get on U-Verse. Let me go into detail:

I have a 16x9 TV.
The picture is SD 16x9 (like what GOL TV used to be.)
The 16x9 SD picture has the black bars on the sides, making it a 4x3 SD image inside a 16x9 SD image.

It's brutal.

 

Time Warner Los Angeles? anybody getting Bein yet? I'm not getting anything.

 

Still a work in progress apparently.

 

Channel Lineup on TWC website shows nothing for LA (zip code 90242) while Bein does show up on the NYC channel lineup (using zip code 10001).

What a Mickey Mouse operation they are. Completely f'ed up.

 

nothing here in 90031/90042 and I agree big time Mickey Mouse Operation

 

Anyone on TWC have success getting English commentary on BeIN ñ via SAP? I can't get it to work.

 

That is great news. Who did roma-lazio today. I miss richard whittle!!

 

at least Paul Visca did Milan V. Fiorentina

 

Yeah wild, and sad as i really enjoy spanish football. And i haven't read the whole thread but seems like bein possibly isn't even playing the some spanish league games live on the English channel. OR at least that's what i gather from reading a few posts. Regardless, tired of it, illegal streams for me and downloads. sucks but whatever. But crazy that it's so hard to see the two best players on the planet.

Sidenote. great first round win by your Galaxy tonight against Seattle. Mike Mcgee sure shows up in the post season and Donovan and Keane's movement was great. They were rampant.

 

I am on the Same boat

 

This is a transition phase. In the long-run, I have no doubt that all La Liga fans will benefit from beIN purchasing the exclusive rights to show that league here.

Also, lets not criticize beIN for something we never had in the GolTV/ESPN-La Liga era either. "All La Liga games live"?? We never had that.

 

Yes, those are the channel locations for the HD channels. But I don't have HD service, nor an HD set.

(By the way, sorry for the delay in responding. The alerts for this watched thread are not arriving in my e-mail inbox for some reason.)

 

Right. I mean, the sport's similarity to football (soccer) is striking; but it's far more high-scoring. Yet it is not as high-scoring as basketball. So, I will be happy to see it when it comes on again, and to learn about the clubs and the competitions.

During the few days that the channel was available to me several weeks ago, there was a match scheduled for the upcoming days. However, the channel disappeared before the match rolled around; so I never saw it. But I was able to add the matches and the highlight show to my series list; so my DVR will record the next matches that are shown.

 

FWIW, I always thought that, when an attacking player took three steps, then suspended himself in the air as to not to land in the "paint" and contorted himself to a shot was one of the coolest sports moves.

 

Right. That particular move is very reminiscent of lacrosse -- which is another sport (whether indoor or outdoor) that I really like watching.

 

You have one of the top clubs in the country in your own backyard. The New York City Team Handball Club has won multiple national championships. You can see some of their games here.

I quite enjoy team handball as well. Broadcast it for a while.

 

Wow, thanks! I will look into that!

It's too bad that this really cool sport files so far under the radar in the crowded U.S. sports landscape, and that there is no domestic or North American / Pan-American league.

Where / when did you broadcast this, Kenn?

 

I have spanish channel only and don't see handball on the schedule yet. I hope they add it to the n lineup also. I haven't seen entire 60 minutes of a handball game for 15 years.
