Okay, I'm getting confused following all the "Who has FSC in HD and who doesn't" I thought maybe we can contribute to this thread by stating our general location (zip code maybe?), what service we use, and which channels we get. I suspect GS could fill this thread in with all info, to this date, in one posting, and we'd be done with it. But, this stuff changes over time, so like the unofficial 'Quakes Roster thread, lets' try to have an unofficial Provider list. THIS IS NOT A THREAD FOR LISTING COVERAGE SCHEDULES! Don't post what is on a channel, only whether you get a channel or not... List a non HD channel only if your service does not provide the HD equivalent
Sunnyvale - Comcast Channel 803 and quality is good to great. Sky Sports is rather stunning and Sunday's Chelsea QPR game was beautiful (NOT the outcome, just the picture)
So to start, I'm in 95112, I have AT&T Uverse, 200 ch. I've watched soccer on the following channels: CSN HD CSNBA HD ESPN HD ESPN2 HD FSN HD GOLTV HD
That's 803 Fox Soccer HD 720 CSNBA HD 724 ESPN HD 725 ESPN2 HD 618 GOL in Std Def. plus a couple of Spanish language stations in HD for Mexican League futbol.
95124 (San Jose/Cambrian) Comcast 401 - Fox Soccer Channel (SD) 618 - GolTV (SD) 720 - CSN Bay Area (HD) - most Quakes games 724 - ESPN (HD) 725 - ESPN2 (HD) 780 - CSN California Plus (HD) - some Quakes games No Fox Soccer Channel in HD yet.
I live in SJ and I also have U-Verse and get ESPN Deportes where I can watch my beloved Real Betis Balompie play RCD Espanyol tomorrow live at 1100 hrs PST. Just had to throw that in there! Ese Beti Oe!!
I don't have cable and watch all my MLS games using MatchDay Live. Unfortunately, MatchDay Live isn't going to broadcast any playoff games.
I made the mistake of signing up for MatchDay last year, before finding out there was not a single 'Quakes game scheduled to be shown. Did they have any this year?
Yes most away games where on MatchDay Live, and the few I couldn't see were on espn2.com. Except for not having the play-offs and an occasional glitch with the service I've been quite happy with MatchDay Live. In my situation is was definitely worth it. I'm a bit stubborn though in refusing to get cable TV. While in college I didn't have time and now with the combination of Apple TV, MatchDay Live, and ESPN2.com I get to see enough of what I want, that I do not miss the things I don't have access to. Only during the Olympics and World Cup soccer months have I even considered getting cable.
