    Default Can anyone explain why time warner has FSN HD...

    ...if they don't plan on showing any bobcats games in hd? every night that there is a bobcats game, i check the fsn carolinas hd channel that was recently added and no dice. i looked in the tv schedule thread to see if the original list had specific dates set aside for hd games, but that didn't help. i emailed time warner and got a generic response that they were doing more research and would get back to me, but that is yet to happen. i assume all of us fans are in the dark, but anyone with some insight would be welcomed.

    I have Directv and they have added the new "FS Carolinas" to their lineup (FSN South is actually Atlanta's and when there is a Cats game they just shift over their feed and if you're in a cats area you get cats, if your in a hawks/thrashers area get them...).

    That said 99% of our games are in standard def, and looking at the schedule the only game we have left in HD is the game against PHX coming up in a few weeks.

    The other thing is the games with no TV will always have HD coverage, if you have league pass. I honestly think next year we'll have 80-90% HD coverage just like most the other teams (Kings notoriously don't have HD either, but they have their own channel like we did with news14 last year).

    Yeah, they're seriously low-quality...I mean look at this screenshot I got of Crash going in for a dunk with Sean May cheering from the bench:

    yeah the standard broadcasts look like something from the early '90's or so. fuzzy and almost blurry looking. i assume it will be fixed next year, but with our history with tv deals i'm kinda nervous. additionally, i saw on the front page of the observer that charlotte's time warner customers are about to get a hike in their bills.... awesome.

    Just more reason to drop the wire for the dish? I can tell you the HD quality on DTV is better than TWC, and I do get about twice as many HD channels as I used to. I like it

    Polarcat, The reason why you havent seen any HD games on Time Warner yet is because the Bobcats havent had an HD telecast since mid-december. Here are the HD telecasts remaining this year. All other games will be in standard definition. Hope this helps.

    Monday, January 19 – vs. San Antonio Spurs – 2 p.m. ET – FSCR
    Friday, January 23 – vs. Phoenix Suns – 7 p.m. ET – SPSO
    Tuesday, January 27 – @ Los Angeles Lakers – 10:30 p.m. ET – FSCR
    Friday, January 30 – @ Denver Nuggets – 9 p.m. ET – FSCR
    Friday, February 6 – vs. Atlanta Hawks – 7 p.m. ET – FSCR
    Wednesday, February 11 – vs. Washington Wizards – 7 p.m. ET – FSCR
    Wednesday, February 18 – vs. Indiana Pacers – 7 p.m. ET – FSCR
    Friday, March 13 – vs. Houston Rockets – 7 p.m. ET – FSCR

    I cant wait to watch a Bobcats game in HD because their standard definition telecasts are nothing short of embarrasing. They look like they are using old camera's from the '80s.

    If you weren't a legend for the Fine Ham Biscuit photoshop... this one most certainly solidifies your status. You forgot to add the nasty mouth piece hanging 5 inches out of Geralds mouth though.
