    Has anyone seen a schedule for which Revs games will be on Fox Sport New England and WB 56? I live and Portland, Me. and we don't get WB 56 (we have our own lame WB affiliate). I'm just trying to figure out which games I will and won't be able to see.

    The tv schedule should be up on revolutionsoccer.net. From what I've heard, 5 of the 7 WB games will be on FSW.
     
  3. Here's the schedule:http://www.revolutionsoccer.net/game_info/2002_game_schedule.asp

    And don't forget; if you have FSW, some of the WB56 games will be shown on FSW also:http://mlsnet.com/content/03/mls0401fsi.html

    Re: Re: Revs TV Schedule

    Thanks. I didn't see that when I went to the Revs site before. If I counted right, 5 of the 11 games on WB will be on FSW (thank God for FSW!). As for the other 6... well, I guess I know what games I'll be seeing in person.

    even more tv coverage . . .

    In addition to the ESPN2, WB, FSN, and FSW line-up of coverage for the Revs, a new entry was announced yesterday.

    MLS and HDNet entered an exclusive three-year HDTV agreement yesterday where HDNet will broadcast at least 28 Saturday games this year in high quality 1080i HDTV format and a 16:9 aspect ratio.

    Glenn Davis and Marcelo Balboa will be doing the PbP and the schedule includes two Rev away games.

    HDNet is received over DirecTV (ch199) and requires an HD dish, receiver and display.

    Since soccer is generally shot from a high perspective, the greater clarity and 16:9 format should be a big improvement. I only wish there were more Rev away games on their schedule.

    Got no HD? Go to most any Best Buy or Circuit City some Saturday night. They use HDNet as the demo channel for their HD televisions. Should be awesome to see a dozen big screen HD sets all showing "MLS Soccer Saturday".

    Annoucement:

    If the price is right, it could be arranged...

    Finally something good to watch in High Def!

    This is great news! Especially since it's a three year deal, when sales of HD Sets should start reaching a critical mass. Soccer will show very well in high def.

    (I'm assuming HDNet will be using their special HD cameras!)
