I was at the game today (bleh) and got a kick out of the TWC commercial on the scoreboard touting "more HD choices than Satellite". :rolleyes:

"More FREE HD choices than Satellite" is their current pitch, AFAIK. They're pushing the fact that they include a couple more HD channels "free" than anyone else.

Of course, I like the response ad from DirecTV (?) that shows the "Big Cable Co." and the executives saying "We can spin it so that we sound like we have a billion more channels than anyone else!" and another exec responding "90% of the numbers can be made to say anything... 50% of the time!"

Yeah that ad has Ed Begley Jr.  in a bit part.  Must really need some cash.

Being a displaced Reds fan living here in the Milwaukee area, I must say I thought the HD coverage the last two days was Fabulous! Although I must admit, I only briefly reviewed the broadcasts on the DVR as I was lucky enough to attend the last two games.

I have MLB EI (Super Fan) and was actually able to get the Reds HD Feed on Wednesday. I was surprised as I figured that would have been blacked out.

Now the Brewers can go back to winning. Until July when they meet again. :D

Crap, you're right and I knew that. I was just thinking of the next time the Reds were back in town here. Thanks for the correction.
