    WTF is going on here. I have DirecTV and after reading today in David Barron's column he said that EVERY Rockets and Astros home game would be in HD. This pisses me off to no end. Are Comcast, Dish, and Uverse subs getting this game in HD?

    I don't know if it is my TV but everytime I watch the Rocks on HD the signal breaks constantly. I don't have this problem with all the other HD channels.

    Worked fine on DISH HD. Only trouble are the McDonald's commercial which are very pixelated with digital noise but that dont bother me. Picture is usually pretty good.

    Damn, I usually have no problems. I am in Houston and should have received it on 639-1. I hope I don't have the same problem again.

    Comcast FSN HD is TERRIBLE. It got to the point to where even Tinman would opt for the regular channel over the HD one. FSNHD is actually a few seconds ahead, but the signal breaks/lags so constantly you miss more than 20+ shots a game.. very frustrating. Hopefully they get it fixed by next season..

    I have Comcast too and the HD signal is terrible. So far I have not been able to watch a game on FSNHD. I always have to switch to the regular FSN channel.

    FSNHD on Comcast

    i tried to watch the rockets game in HD tonight for Comcast on FSNHD channel 302.

    the quality is horrible! there are patches where the video skips and freezes while the audio keeps going, then it just skips to wherever the audio is. i miss baskets being shot because of this. just wanted to see if it was just my cable box or if anyone else is having problems. i have a HD DVR box from Comcast. this has happened pretty much everytime i've watched games on FSNHD ch. 302, for rockets games.

    i end up watching it on regular FSN cuz there are no problems there.. anyone else know what i'm talking about? if not, i'm gonna complain to get a new box or something.. thanks

    Hey man you been doing alright? I watched tonights game on 302 and didn't have any issues -hopefully they get that straightened out for you because after the Hornets game the next few home games are all going to be in HD.

    7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 15, vs. 76ers

    7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 19, vs. Spurs

    1:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 21, vs. Sonics

    Yeah, BUT...do you get slight pauses in the feed as a player drives to the basket (for example) then it starts again as you see the ball go through the net and not the actual play.


    I hate that about FSN HD....it is the ONLY HD channel that does this........ :mad:
