D* added FSN HD Wisconsin today.

Channel: 642-1

That must have been one of the 23 HD channels D* added today, huh?

Now there is no reason, outside of network locals off of the dish, one here shouldn't change to DirectvHD!:rock:

Sweet.  HD Brewers and Bucks games have been on 94 or 95, this makes it easier. I had been told this channel wouldn't be added until next year when the next bird goes up.

Is it actually FSN-Wisconsin? Or just FSN North that we have been receiving with just games on that channel?

Both: 641 AND 642-1  :rock:

642-1 was up - but not operational - for the Bucks game last night.

My understanding is the new -1 channels are game only channels when the games are avialable in HD.

When the games were in HD it was a crap shoot as to whether the games would be the ones selected for broadcast on 94-95.

The chances are now better that we will get them.

It looks to me like they added 642-1 for any games that are in HiDef.

We still get the FSN North broadcasting. I turned it on after the Bucks game last night and there was Best Damn Sports Show on 641 and some paid religious program on 642. This morning I turned it on and there was something about the Gophers on 641 and nothing on 642.

Hopefully, they're just working out the bugs.

Channel 642-1 is a "games only" channel. So when FSN-WI broadcasts a game in HD, that's where the game will be. Time Warner has a "games only" FSN-WI HD channel: 531.
