Why can't FOX FSN have a on-screen schedule for it HD Brewer games?  Manual scheduling is a pain.  :mad:

Not really worth hassle of updating the guide info when its dark 28 days a month. ;)

Solution: Simulcast FSN on FSN HD, even if only SD, then there isn't a blank station "28 days a month".

This is buggin' me too.  Although 60+ games isn't perfect, from april-september the channel will get something on it 1/3 to 1/2 the days.

Although it isn't well advertised, generally the college sports (basketball and football) that are from the national FSN feed that show up on FSN also show up on FSN-HD.  This is usually on Sundays.

Simulcast would be great, but I would settle for the guide just saying "off the air" except when there was something, so it could be easily DVR'd.

I was wondering if anyone knows where to locate a schedule of all the games being shown in HD? I went to FSN North Wisconsin website and was not able to find one. By the way I also agree that FSN should simulcast the feed from the other SD channel. The ESPN and ESPN HD channels already use standard feed to fill their programing schedule. Why can't FSN do this as well? If TWC is going to list it as a HD chanel which is such a joke because it rarely if ever has any HD programming, then at least it should upconvert or show the regular SD feed. I would prefer all HD programming but it is at least a better alternative then no programming at all.

Check out the Brewers schedule on JSOnline.com (http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=711837).  For each game it lists the station broadcasting the game and if it is FSN it provides whether it is standard "FSN" or "FSN-HD".

TV channels are also listed on the regular Brewers schedule.

No can do by region...  If they listed everything you were missing outside of the Brewer games, everyone would be even more confused... or mad!:D

I emailed TWC about this, they claim they just became aware of this issue the same day I emailed and they will be updating the guide for FSN-WI soon.  We shall see.

Feh. All they'll do is add a text note to the channel saying something like "Tune to Fox Sports HD for Brewers Baseball in High Definition." or something else otherwise useless.
